<strong>Adams</strong>/<strong>Solver</strong><br />

Input Arguments<br />

sys1 A character string specifying the system in which the values passed in<br />

coord1 were determined. The possible character strings and their<br />

meanings are:<br />

Output Arguments<br />

Extended Definition<br />

MOTSUB, REQSUB, or SFOSUB can call TCNVRT <strong>to</strong> change the Cartesian coordinates used <strong>to</strong> specify<br />

a displacement vec<strong>to</strong>r <strong>to</strong> cylindrical coordinates.<br />

TIMGET<br />

CARTESIAN - Cartesian coordinates (x, y, and z).<br />

CYLINDRICAL - Cylindrical coordinates (radius, theta, and z).<br />

SPHERICAL - Spherical coordinates (radius, phi, and theta).<br />

Note: Do not confuse this phi and theta with the Euler angles named<br />

phi and theta.<br />

coord1 A double-precision array containing the coordinates <strong>to</strong> be converted.<br />

Angles should be input in radians.<br />

sys2 A character string specifying the system in which the values returned as<br />

output in coord2 are <strong>to</strong> be determined. Possible character strings are the<br />

same as those for sys1.<br />

coord2 The converted coordinates as output. Angles are output in radians.<br />

istat An integer variable indicating either the success or the reason for the<br />

failure of the call <strong>to</strong> TCNVRT.<br />

If: Then:<br />

istat= 0 The call <strong>to</strong> TCNVRT was successful.<br />

istat= -1 The coordinate system for sys1 was not<br />

correctly specified.<br />

istat= -2 The coordinate system for sys2 was not<br />

correctly specified.<br />

TIMGET returns the simulation time corresponding <strong>to</strong> the last successful simulation step.
