Four options are available to rotate nodes.  Each begins by selecting the Rotation window (moveNodeRotate) tab.

10_me_rotation

 

Method 1: pick the axis and define the rotation angle

1.Click vectorCreateBy2Nodes-24 and in the graphic window, click the two nodes defining the rotation axis.

By default, the first node will define the rotation center.

2.Define the rotation angle in the Angle field.
3.Click Apply Rotation as many times as necessary to apply the defined displacement.
4.If necessary, click the functions to undo or redo the displacement.
5.Click Close to close the menu.

 

Method 2: pick three nodes

1.Click ThreeNodesPlane and in the graphic window, pick three nodes.

By default, node 1 will define the rotation center. The normal to the plane made by the nodes 1, 2, and 3 will define the rotation axis.  The rotation angle will be the angle 2-1-3.

2.Click Apply Rotation as many times as necessary to apply the defined displacement.
3.If necessary, click the functions to undo or redo the displacement.
4.Click Close to close the menu.

 

Method 3: pick the axis and pick two nodes

1.Click axis2Nodes and in the graphic window, click two nodes (nodes 1 and 2) to define the rotation axis and then click two other nodes (nodes 3 and 4) to define the rotation angle.

By default, the node 1 will define the rotation center.  The nodes 1 and 2 will define the rotation axis.  The rotation angle will be the angle between by the plane defined by the nodes 1, 2, and 3 and the plane defined by the nodes 1, 2, and 4.

2.Click Apply Rotation as many times as necessary to apply the defined displacement.
3.If necessary, click the functions to undo or redo the displacement.
4.Click Close to close the menu.

 

Method 4: Fill in the fields

1.It is possible to directly fill in the fields defining the Rotation Axis (X axis, Y axis, and Z axis coordinates), the Rotation Angle (the angle in degree) and the Rotation Center (X, Y, and Z coordinates or Node Id or by picking a node using reviewGeneral-24).
2.Click Apply Rotation as many times as necessary to apply the defined displacement.
3.If necessary, click the functions to undo or redo the displacement.
4.Click Close to close the menu.
