DM
Returns the magnitude of the translational displacement from one coordinate system object to another.
Format
DM (Object 1,Object 2)
Arguments
Object 1 | Coordinate system object to which the translational displacement magnitude is measured. |
Object 2 | Coordinate system object from which the translational displacement magnitude is measured. |
symbol
Mathematically, DM is calculated as follows:
where:
■
is the displacement of the Object 1, O1, in the global coordinate system.
is the displacement of the Object 1, O1, in the global coordinate system. ■
is the displacement of the Object 2, O2, in the global coordinate system.
is the displacement of the Object 2, O2, in the global coordinate system. Example
In the following illustration, the DM function returns a number greater than or equal to 0.
