ElementAxisVector
Transforms a vector relative to the elemental system to the global system.
Inputs
- elems
- An element entity table.
- coords
- A coordinate vector value table.
- vector
- A vector relative to the elemental system.
- elemSysMethod
- The element system method for the model. Valid values are "Bisect" (default value) or "Midpoint" (to be used for all Radioss models).
Outputs
- answer
- A elemental vector value table.
Comments
- All vectors in coords must be relative to the global system.
- The vector string is a space-separated list of three scalar values.
- elemSysMethod is only applicable for Element-bound vectors and is specific to quadrilateral elements only.
