Adjusting Z of multicylinders, in PDE toolbox

Hi, I am trying to build a shape that consists of several cylinders:

Since I will be running electrical simulations for it, I have used PDE toolbox for it.

Here is my code for the first cylinder layer:

SC = multicylinder(width, hSC);

May I know how do I add another layer below this layer?

Thank you!

Hi Miles,

I understand that you want to create a shape that consists of several cylinders stacked on top of each other using the “multicylinder” function.

A similar example for your use case has already been provided in the MATLAB documentation of the “multicylinder” function. You can run the following command in MATLAB to know more about this example:

openExample('pde/StackedCylindersExample') 

Specific to your question, you need to make vectors for each argument (radiusVec, heightVec) of the “multicylinder” function and add the “ZOffset” vector to stack all the cylinders accordingly.

Hope it helps,
