Data line to define reference lengths and angles

First (and only) line

Enter a blank to use the (default) reference length or angle calculated from the initial geometry.

  1. Reference length associated with the connector's first component of relative motion.

  2. Reference length associated with the connector's second component of relative motion.

  3. Reference length associated with the connector's third component of relative motion. Only relevant for three-dimensional analyses.

  4. Reference angle (in degrees) associated with the connector's fourth component of relative motion. Only relevant for three-dimensional analyses.

  5. Reference angle (in degrees) associated with the connector's fifth component of relative motion. Only relevant for three-dimensional analyses.

  6. Reference angle (in degrees) associated with the connector's sixth component of relative motion.
