Description
Examples
ScrewDisplacement(Q, P, theta, l, AB)
Q
-
the name of the object to be created
P
geometric object
theta
angle of rotation
l
the axis of rotation
AB
directed segment
A screw-displacement is the product of a rotation and a translation along the axis of rotation.
For a detailed description of Q (the object created), use the routine detail (i.e., detail(Q);)
The command with(geom3d,ScrewDisplacement) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
