Hello, I have a project in which i must make a eliptic cylinder and make it move in different directions by using the followin formula: (x^2/a^2)+(y^2/b^2)=1. I made a Cylinder by using Graphics3D[Cylinder[]] and that's where everything stops. I never worked in Mathematica and the professor just told us to do it on a computer. I understand that this is the best alternative to do the project. Thank you
And how do i make it to move in any direction?
Vladimir,
One way to do it is to Scale the cylinder.
Scale
a = 2; b = 3; Graphics3D[Scale[Cylinder[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 4}}, 1], {a, b, 1}]]
