1. | Moving skew defines a local coordinate system, defined by three nodes. At each time, the actual orientation of the skew is recalculated according to the actual position of these nodes. |
2. | In 3D, the skew is defined as follows: |
node_ID1 and node_ID2 define Z’
node_ID1 and node_ID3 define X’
Y’ = Z’ ^ X’’
X’ = Y’ ^ Z’
3. | When defining some conditions with respect to the skew in cylindrical coordinate system, the axis of the cylindrical coordinate system is assumed to pass through node N1. |
