Plane-Nominal

The DVTI_plnang Plane-Nominal measurement is based on the deviation of a plane relative to its nominal orientation.

Example Model:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\DCS\3DCS_All Platforms_8_0_0_1\3DCS CAD & Example Models\Reference Models\Measures\Plane Nominal

 

 

Input:

Geometry Requirements 1 Plane (3 Points)

Measure TypePlane-Nominal
Direction ModeTrue Angle, Projected on Plane
DirectionRequired for: Projected on Plane

 

Output:

Direction Mode: True Angle

The measurement calculates the true angle between the nominal and deviated orientations of the plane.  The measurement will be between 0 and +180 degrees.  No direction vector applies.  This mode may produce incorrect Contributor Analysis or GeoFactor Equation-Based results, see Analysis Comparison & Assumptions.

Direction Mode: Projected on Plane

The measurement calculates the true angle as it is viewed from the direction specified.  The measurement will be between -180 and +180 degrees.  The measurement will be negative if the angle between the direction vector and the cross product of the two plane vectors is more than 90 degrees.
