<strong>Welcome</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Adams</strong>/<strong>Solver</strong> <strong>Subroutines</strong><br />

Rodrigues parameters (R1, R2, and R3) define the relative rotation between two frames of reference. The<br />

relationship between Rodrigues parameters and Euler parameters is R1 = P1/P0, R2 = P2/P0, and<br />

R3 = P3/P0. Rodrigues parameters become undefined when P0 = 0, that is, when the angle of rotation<br />

about the vec<strong>to</strong>r is 180 degrees. If the dimension of the string is CHARACTER*12 or longer, the string<br />

can hold any integer defined on a 32-bit machine.<br />

The coord1 and coord2 array length is three, except when the coordinates are in the EULPAR system<br />

(when the array length is four) or in the COSINES system (when the array length is nine). The nine<br />

values of the COSINES system, which forms a three-by-three matrix, are s<strong>to</strong>red in column order in<br />

coord2.<br />
