Defining an Explicit Position
Position in a PTCAR element and a PTMIX element is defined by the
PX
,
PY
and
PZ
keywords, each followed by a value or a parameter function. For example:
PX 100
sets P-point X coordinate to 100
PY (0.5 * APARA[3])
sets Y coordinate to (0.5 times value of third attached parameter) units
PZ (PARA[2] * SIN (ANGLE / 2))
sets Z coordinate to (second component parameter times sine of half design angle) units
If you do not define a coordinate, a value of zero is assumed.
