Description

This command sets the orientation of the coordinate system using the coordinates of three nodes. The orientation can be set for user-defined systems only! Node1 defines the origin of the system, the vector between node1 and node2 defines the X-axis of the system, and node3 defines a point on the XY plane.

Inputs

node1: The ID of node1.
node2: The ID of node2.
node3: The ID of node3.

Example

To set the orientation of a user-defined system using nodes:

hwi OpenStack
hwi GetSessionHandle session_handle
session_handle GetProjectHandle project_handle
project_handle GetPageHandle page_handle [project_handle GetActivePage]
page_handle GetWindowHandle window_handle [page_handle GetActiveWindow]
window_handle GetClientHandle client_handle
client_handle GetModelHandle model_handle [client_handle GetActiveModel]

model_handle GetUserDefinedSystemHandle sys1 “UserSystem 2”
sys1 SetOrientationByNode “Node 100” “Node 200” “Node 300”

hwi CloseStack
