RegionProduct

RegionProduct[reg1,reg2]

represents the Cartesian product of the regions reg1 and reg2.

RegionProduct[reg1,reg2,…]

represents the Cartesian product of the regions reg1, reg2, ….

Details

  • RegionProduct is also known as outer product region.
  • RegionProduct[reg1,reg2] represents the region .
  • The embedding dimension of the product region is the sum of embedding dimensions, and the geometric dimension is the sum of geometric dimensions.
