*LocalAxesDef(EulerAngles)

This is similar to the LocalAxesDef command, only with the EulerAngles option.

It returns three numbers that are the 3 Euler angles (radians) that define a local axes system Image Modified, with the so-called "

How to calculate X[3] Y[3] Z[3] orthonormal vector axes from three euler angles angles[3]



cosA=cos(angles[0])
sinA=sin(angles[0])
cosB=cos(angles[1])
sinB=sin(angles[1])
cosC=cos(angles[2])
sinC=sin(angles[2])
 
X[0]= cosC*cosA - sinC*cosB*sinA
X[1]= -sinC*cosA - cosC*cosB*sinA
X[2]= sinB*sinA
 
Y[0]= cosC*sinA + sinC*cosB*cosA
Y[1]= -sinC*sinA + cosC*cosB*cosA
Y[2]= -sinB*cosA
 
Z[0]= sinC*sinB
Z[1]= cosC*sinB
Z[2]= cosB
