Move local coordinate system

Altair Forum User

Hi,

   I need to rotate the node which is having maximum stress,but it is invisible in standard view.

   To make that area visible ,need to use  setorientation (viewhandle setorientation)  command

     In SetOrientation  ,input arguments are Tx,Ty,Tz,E1,E2,E3.

   How Tx,Ty,Tz,E1,E2,E3 values should be given , is there any logic for giving inputs.

Sets the orientation of the model within the view.  Six floats are required:  three for the translation of the model in X, Y, and Z, and three Euler angles for the rotation about the Z, X, Z axes.

This command is valid for both the orthographic projection and perspective projection modes.

 

Tx, Ty, Tz

Translation of the model in X, Y, and Z.

 

E1, E2, E3

Euler angles for the rotation of the model about Z, X, Z axes.
