CORD1R (Rectangular Coordinate System Definition, Form 1)

Description

The CORD1R entry defines a rectangular coordinate system by referencing three grid point identification numbers.

Format

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
CORD1R CID G1A G2A G3A CID G1B G2B G3B

Example

CORD1R 3 16 32 19
Field Definition Type Default
CID Coordinate system identification number. Integer > 0 Required
GiA, GiB Grid point identification numbers. Integer > 0, G1A ≠ G2A ≠ G3A, G1B ≠ G2B ≠ G3B 0

Remarks

  1. Coordinate system identification numbers on all CORD1C, CORD1R, CORD1S, CORD2C, CORD2R, and CORD2S entries must all be unique.
  2. One or two coordinate systems may be defined on a single entry.
  3. GiA and GiB must be defined in coordinate whose definition does not involve the coordinate system being defined. The first point is the origin, the second lies on the z-axis, and the third lies in the plane of the azimuth origin. The three grid points GiA (or GiB) must be non-colinear and not coincident.
  4. Coordinate systems defined using CORD1C, CORD1R, and CORD1S entries cannot be used as reference coordinate systems on CORD2C, CORD2R, and CORD2S entries.
  5. The location of a grid point (P in the sketch) in this coordinate system is given by (X, Y, Z).
  6. The displacement coordinate directions at P are dependent on the location of P as shown above by (uX, uY, uz).
