Recursion and Recursively Defined Geometry Objects

Application ID: 75461


You can use the Method Editor in the Application Builder for creating methods that perform almost any type of modeling tasks, including geometry modeling. It is easy to miss the fact that methods can support recursion by having a method calling itself in a recursive loop. Here, we will demonstrate recursion by two famous examples of recursive structures: a Sierpinski carpet in 2D and a Menger sponge in 3D.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
