*SetPoint() - asymmetric point pair

Sets the coordinates for an asymmetric point pair.

Syntax

*SetPoint(point_name, , x_l, y_l, z_l, x_r, y_r, z_r)

Arguments

point_name: The variable name of an existing point pair.; Data type: varname
x_l, y_l, z_l: Coordinates of the left point.; Data type: real
x_r, y_r, z_r: Coordinates of the right point.; Data type: real

Example

*PointPair(p_axle_shaft_cg, "Axle shaft CG")
*PointPair(p_cv, "CV joint")
*SetPoint(p_cv, , 
 (p_axle_diff.l.x+p_wc.l.x)/2, 
 (p_axle_diff.l.y+p_wc.l.y)/2, 
 (p_axle_diff.l.z+p_wc.l.z)/2, 
 (p_axle_diff.r.x+p_wc.r.x)/2, 
 
 (p_axle_diff.r.y+p_wc.r.y)/2, 
 
 (p_axle_diff.r.z+p_wc.r.z)/2)
*SetPoint(p_axle_shaft_cg, , 
 (p_axle_diff.l.x+p_cv.l.x)/2, 
 
 (p_axle_diff.l.y+p_cv.l.y)/2, 
 
 (p_axle_diff.l.z+p_cv.l.z)/2,

Comments

The second argument, which is used for specifying symmetry, is empty when assigning asymmetric coordinates to a point pair.
