I have a point a 3D space (say 0,0,0), a radius of the circle(say 2m), and know a single point that lies on the circle at a certain x co-ordinate, and have the corresponding y coordinate for the point on the circle. How can I calculate the Z co-ordinate for this point given the above parameters...
thanks,
my problems lies in how to calculate the euler angles for the rotation. If possible, could you maybe use an example (say, vector (3,2,0)) and show how to calculate the euler angles for a rotation of 30degrees x-axis, 20 degress y-axis, and 45 degrees z-axis for example.
Sorry if I'm...
I'm looking for a method to rotate a 3D vector, and place it at an arbitary 3D point (x,y,z) without changing the vectors magnitude. I have briefly investigated eulers angles (mainly through wikipedia links etc), but don't fully understand the process yet.
As an example, given the vector ...
am now working on the assumption that i can calculate a vector which is on the same plane as the 2d point (as for the plane will cross the centre of the pipe, and point in question, both of which i will have 3D points for), calculate the equation of the plane, and then put the point that i need...
to clarify here is an example of the data i will have available:
3d-co-ordinates(location) magnitude of force direction
(1,1,1) 500 70degrees
(-1,-1,-1) 740 34degrees
the numbers are...
The 3D co-ordinates are the dimensions of the pipe, the 2d information is a magnitude and a 0-180degree reading for stress values. This must be altered to allow a 3d visualisation as part of my project.
I'm tring to visualise some data i have a need a little help.
The format of the data is a magnitude and 2d polar co-ordinates of recorded stress values.
These readings must be visualised in a 3D manner representing a pipe. I can generate the start coordinates for each vector, but as each is on...
