Entering Axis Data for a Dataset
Revolution 1D and 2D datasets: Specify the revolution axis or point by a method based on the space dimension.
•
For a Revolution 1D dataset, enter a value in the coordinate field to specify the revolution point.
•
For a Sector 2D dataset, enter values for both the x and y coordinates (SI unit: m).
•
For a Mirror 2D, Revolution 2D, or Sector 3D dataset, from the Axis entry method list, select Two points to enter the revolution axis by specifying two points or Point and direction to specify the axis by specifying one point and a direction vector.
-
If Two points is selected, enter coordinates in the Point 1 and Point 2 fields for x and y coordinates for the 2D datasets and for x, y, and z coordinates for the 3D dataset (SI unit: m).
-
If Point and Direction is selected, enter Point and Direction vectors for x and y coordinates for 2D datasets and for x, y, and z coordinates for the 3D dataset (SI unit: m).
