Coordinate Systems - MacCurdyLab/OpenVCAD-Public GitHub Wiki
OpenVCAD supports cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates systems in all expressions. The forms and corresponding variable names of each are given below. You can mix and match any of the below variable names within a single expression.
Name | Form | Variable Name |
---|---|---|
Cartesian | f(x, y, z) | x,y,z |
Cylindrical | f(ρ, φ, z) | rho, phic, z |
Spherical | f(r, θ, φ) | r, theta, phis |
