Coordinates, Points and Lines

The position of panels, boundaries and different components may be given explicitly in input as coordinates and inclinations of lines. Planar Hull Modelling offers the user the possibility to work either in the local uvw-system of the panel or in the main xyz-system of the panel. The following images illustrate the way coordinates and lines are converted from the xyz-system into the uvw-system, in which the panel is stored.
