Combining Displacements and Rotations

This section shows how to combine displacements and rotations.

  1. The figure below shows two displacements in different coordinates system and different directions called DRESP_1 and DRESP_2.

  2. The displacements can be combined to a DRESP which can be applied in the optimization like the following:

    DRESP
 ID_NAME = .....
 DEF_TYPE = OPER
 VAR_OPER = COMBINE
 VARIABLE = ....., .....
 VARIABLE = DRESP_1,  0.6
 VARIABLE = DRESP_2, -0.8
 VARIABLE = ....., .....
    ....................
END_

Notes:

  1. Different directions of displacements can be combined and weighted.
  2. Displacements of different coordinate systems can be combined and weighted.
  3. Rotations can also be combined and weighted.
