Options for Creating Translational Point-to-Point Measures

 
To:
Do the following:
Select the vector component in which you are interested
From the Component option buttons, select an option.
Select the associated coordinate system
Set the pull-down menu next to the Component option buttons to a coordinate system ( Cartesian, spherical, or cylindrical.
Specify a marker along whose axes the measure will be represented
In the Represent Coordinates in text box, enter a marker. Leave the text box blank to represent the coordinates in the ground coordinate system.
Specify the reference frame (available depending on the type of characteristic you chose)
In the Do time derivatives in text box, enter a marker representing the measure reference frame. If you do not enter a marker, Adams View uses ground as the reference frame.
