1. | For fixed skews, the skew system is fixed and is defined by Y’ and Z’. Vectors of arbitrary length may be given. |
2. | For a fixed skew, inputs are Y’ axis and Z’ axis, but X’ axis is computed as: X' = Y'Z' |
Y’ is recomputed as: Y" = Z'X'.
3. | The new fixed skew is defined by X', Y" and Z'. |
4. | The skew origin O’ is useful when defining some condition with respect to the skew in cylindrical coordinate system. |
