Calling Sequence

ScrewDisplacement(Q, P, theta, l, AB)

Parameters

Q

-

the name of the object to be created

P

-

geometric object

theta

-

angle of rotation

l

-

the axis of rotation

AB

-

directed segment

Description

• 

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.
