TYPE OrientationSpace : STRUCT

Describes the possible space of an orientation. This space can have zero, one or three dimensions.

dof

OrientationDOF

Number of dimensions

vRot

SMC_Vector3d

In case of dof = OrientationDOF.one, the orientation space contains all orientation matrices R with R * vU = vRot. vRot is defined with respect to the base coordinate system.

mOriZero

SMC_Matrix3

An orientation inside the orientation space.

vU

SMC_VECTOR3D

STRUCT(dX := 0, dY := 0, dZ := 1)

In case of dof = OrientationDOF.one, the unit vector corresponding to the axis of rotation. See derscription of vRot.
