Plot cylinder from the equation (and a trajectory on it)

Hello,

for an application I need to plot a cylinder. I already found the "Create Cylinder" + "Create Object" combination for displaying a "ScenObject", but I am not sure it is the best vi I need (I also did not understand if I need 2 objects in order to use the Object.AddObjectNode, but this is a differente story).

From an external application I get the 'a' and 'b' paramenters of the cylinder equation (X^2 / a^2) + (Y^2 / b^2) = 1, and I need to plot the cylinder starting from these parameters. Is it possible with labview?

Moreover, once the cylinder is plotted, I should draw on its surface a trajectory: t is a sort of 'Z' trajectory that starts from a point, goes parallel to the major axis for a certain length, than starts from the first quote, but offsetted by a certaing quote along the minor axis. So the final result is a series of parallel line on a portion of the cylinder surface.

 

Can you please help me figuring out a solution?

 

thank you a lot in advance and best regards,

 

Diego
