DERIVATIVE

Purpose

To calculate the derivative at a point on the current curve.

Syntax

Description

The program will calculate the derivative that means, the slope of the curve at any user defined position by entering the U or V value in the local axis system or via the CURSOR in which case the derivative of the nearest point to the cursor crosswire will be calculated.

The derivative returned depends on the current view that means,

• Section view = dz/dy

• Waterline view = dy/dx

• Buttock view = dz/dx
