*SetOrientation() - marker pair single axis orientation

Uses the single axis method to set the orientation of a marker pair.

Syntax

*SetOrientation(frame, LEFT|RIGHT, 
                                 ONEAXIS, 
                                 X|Y|Z, 
                                 POINT|VECTOR|DXDYDZ, 
                                 point_name|vector_name|x,y,z)

Arguments

frame: The variable name of an existing marker pair.; Data type: MarkerPair
LEFT RIGHT: See Comments.
ONEAXIS: This argument specifies the single axis method.
X Y Z: This argument specifies one of the three coordinates axes for which the marker orientation is being set.
POINT|VECTOR|DXDYDZ: Keyword that indicates the alignment method for the axis. POINT suggests that the next argument in this statement is expected to be a point variable. If VECTOR is specified as the keyword, the next argument is expected to be resolved to a vector variable. DXDYDZ suggests the next set of arguments specified are direction cosines.; Data type: Keyword
point_name vector_name xyz: A point or point pair on the specified axis, a vector or vector pair along the specified axis, or the X, Y, and Z components of a vector along the specified axis.; Data type: Point, PointPair, Vector, VectorPair, or three reals

Example

*SetOrientation(marker_name, RIGHT, ONEAXIS, Y, POINT, point_1)
*SetOrientation(marker_name, , ONEAXIS, Z, VECTOR, vector_1)
*SetOrientation(marker_name, , ONEAXIS, X, DXDYDZ, 3, 4, 5, ONEAXIS, X, POINT, point_1)

Context

*BeginMdl()

*DefineSystem()

Comments

LEFT: The left marker is oriented as specified and the right marker orientation is made symmetric to the left marker.
RIGHT: The right marker is oriented as specified and the left marker orientation is made symmetric to the right marker.
No Argument Specified: The marker pair is asymmetric; attributes are assigned to the left and right markers individually.

If no argument is specified, This statement is used to define the orientation of a bushing defined by *BushPair().
