transformation Element

Transformation (scaling, rotation, translation). This element is used to define the position and attitude of the rotor relative to the global or the parent component's axis system. Note that an anisotropical scaling transformation should not be applied to the rotor.

      Element scaling[0, 1]

Scaling data default: 1,1,1. Those parameters describe the scaling of the x-, y-, and z-axis.

      Element rotation[0, 1]

Rotation data default: 0,0,0. The rotation angles are the three Euler angles to describe the orientation of the coordinate system. The order is allways xyz in CPACS. Therefore the first rotation is around the x-axis, the second rotation is around the rotated y-axis (y') and the third rotation is around the two times rotated z-axis (z'').

      Element translation[0, 1]

Translation data default: 0,0,0. Translations can either be made absolute in the global coordinate system (absGlobal), absolute in the local Coordinate system (absLocal) or relative (relative), normalized with the maximum dimensions of the parent.
