[Cl...] Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 If you have the XYZ nominals I have a spreadsheet that will calculate the IJK vectors for them. Will that help? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ma...] Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 (edited) Please sign in to view this quote. Thanks Clarke But what I'm looking for is the formula to take a i,j,k vector and convert it to an angle value. I think I have to convert it to a Euler Angle then maybe I'll have that angle, but my tests are not working. Edited June 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ma...] Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) Please sign in to view this quote. So you want one combined angle? I think ijk are from 0 to 1 and it should be calculated with sin,cos and tan mainly - there should be formula on google. So what? you want to convert each ijk to angle or that combinated one? To find the angles associated with a vector given in IJK notation (I, J, K), you need to calculate the direction cosines and then use the inverse cosine function (arccos). The direction cosines are found by dividing the components of the vector by its magnitude. Here's a breakdown: 1. Calculate the Magnitude of the Vector: The magnitude of a vector (I, J, K) is calculated as: sqrt(I^2 + J^2 + K^2). 2. Calculate the Direction Cosines: The direction cosine for the x-axis (angle with the x-axis) is: I / magnitude. The direction cosine for the y-axis (angle with the y-axis) is: J / magnitude. The direction cosine for the z-axis (angle with the z-axis) is: K / magnitude. 3. Calculate the Angles: To find the angle associated with each axis, use the arccos function: Angle with x-axis = arccos(I / magnitude). Angle with y-axis = arccos(J / magnitude). Angle with z-axis = arccos(K / magnitude). Edited June 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ma...] Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 So just use arc cos with i,j,k values - magnitude here is always 1 so that's it https://nexus.hexagon.com/community/public/pc-dmis/f/pc-dmis-for-cmms/114263/ijk-angle-conversion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
