An definition of the blade section's reference axis system.

  • Origin: object (PointOnSpan)
  • ZAxis: object (Vector3D)
  • RotationAboutReferenceZ: number (rad)
  • YAxis: object (Vector3D)

Properties

Origin: object(PointOnSpan)

A point on the section plane. This will be used as the local origin for the reference axis system.

ZAxis: object(Vector3D), optional

The normal to the section's plane which represents the local z axis. If omitted, the component's Z direction will be used.

RotationAboutReferenceZ: number (rad), optional

This specifies the ReferenceCoordinateSystem's local y axis direction. A vector specifying the YAxis explicitly can be provided instead, or without either the Y-axis will lie on the component's YZ plane.

YAxis: object(Vector3D), optional

The local y axis direction. This will be rectified to ensure it is perpendicular to the ZAxis property. A rotation can be provided instead, or without either the Y-axis will lie on the component's YZ plane.
