Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
transform_ID	Transformation identifier (Integer, maximum 10 digits)
unit_ID	Optional unit identifier (Integer, maximum 10 digits)
transform_title	Transformation title (Character, maximum 100 characters)
grnd_ID	Node group identifier (Integer)
X_point_1	X coordinate of point 1 Default = 0.0 (Real)
Y_point_1	Y coordinate of point 1 Default = 0.0 (Real)
Z_point_1	Z coordinate of point 1 Default = 0.0 (Real)
node_ID1	Node identifier 1 (Integer)
node_ID2	Node identifier 2 (Integer)
sub_ID	Submodel identifier (Integer)
X_point_2	X coordinate of point 2 Default = 0.0 (Real)
Y_point_2	Y coordinate of point 2 Default = 0.0 (Real)

Angle	Rotation angle value (in degree's) Default = 0.0 (Real)

1.	If node_ID1 and node_ID2 are defined, the rotation will be done around the vector defined by node_ID1 and node_ID2. The center of rotation will be the node_ID1. If only one node is defined, the error message is displayed.

transform_rot_node

Otherwise, the rotation will be done around the vector defined by point_1 and point_2. The center of rotation will be the point_1.

transform_rot_point

2.	A transformation can not apply to a node group and a submodel at the same time.

3.	If the transformation is done on a submodel, all the options of this submodel are transformed.

4.	A node cannot be transformed both in a submodel and a node group.
