MaterialAxisVector
Transforms a vector relative to the elemental material system to the global system.
Inputs
- elems
- An element entity table.
- coords
- A ccordinate vector value table.
- systems
- A systems entity table.
- mattheta
- A scalar table of material angle offsets (default=”null”).
- parts
- An part entity table (default=”null”).
- props
- A property entity table (default=”null”).
- vector
- A vector relative to the material system.
Outputs
- answer
- A elemental vector value table.
Comments
- All vectors in coords must be relative to the global system.
- Solid material systems require part and property tables, and both must be passed.
- Two methods for material orientation are supported: an angle offset relative to the element system, and the projection of a system onto the surface of the shell.
- The vector string is a space-separated list of three scalar values.
