Plotting Normalized Rodrigues Parameters
Rodrigues parameters specify the transformation of coordinates between a rotating frame and another reference frame. You can plot normalized Rodrigues parameters to specify the rotational orientation of a moving part.
-
From a Motion Analysis study, click Results and Plots
(MotionManager toolbar).
- In the PropertyManager, for Category, select Other Quantities.
- For Subcategory select Rodriguez Parameters.
-
For Select result component, select one of the following:
-
Parameter 1 to calculate the first Rodrigues parameter.
- Parameter 2 to calculate the second Rodrigues parameter.
- Parameter 3 to calculate the third Rodrigues parameter.
- For features
, select a part face to calculate the result for the rotational motion of the part.
- Select the Plot Results options you require, and click
.
The result appears in the MotionManager tree.
- Click Calculate
