TransformEngine

This component belongs to the category of Engines. The TransformEngine transforms the positions of one DataFields into new positions after applying a transformation. This transformation can be either: translation, rotation or scale.

Input Data

• input_position: input array of 3d points Output Data ———-

• output_position: output array of 3d points

Additional Parameter

• translation: Vector3 defining the translation to be applied
• rotation: Vector3 defining the rotation to be applied
• scale: Vector3 describing the scale to be applied

Examples

This component is used as follows in XML format:

<TransformEngine name="translationEngine" template="Vec3d" translation="10 0 0" input_position="@meshLoader.position" />
<MechanicalObject name="transform" template="Vec3d" position="@translationEngine.output_position" />

or in python:

node.addObject("TransformEngine", name="translationEngine", template="Vec3d", translation="10 0 0", input_position="@meshLoader.position")
node.addObject("MechanicalObject", name="transform", template="Vec3d", position="@translationEngine.output_position")
