Defining an Explicit Position

Position in a PTCAR element and a PTMIX element is defined by the PX, PY and PZ keywords, each followed by a value or a parameter function. For example:
|
PX 100 |
sets P-point X coordinate to 100 |
|
PY (0.5 * APARA[3]) |
sets Y coordinate to (0.5 times value of third attached parameter) units |
|
PZ (PARA[2] * SIN (ANGLE / 2)) |
sets Z coordinate to (second component parameter times sine of half design angle) units |
If you do not define a coordinate, a value of zero is assumed.
