TR.17 Rotation of Structure Geometry
This command may be used to rotate the currently defined joint coordinates (and the attached members/elements) about the global axes. The rotated configuration is used for analysis and design. While specifying this command, the sense of the rotation should conform to the right hand rule.
General Format
PERFORM ROTATION *{ X d1 | Y d2 | Z d3 }
Where:
- d1, d2, d3 are the rotations (in degrees) about the X, Y, and Z global axes, respectively.
Example
PERFORM ROTATION X 20 Z -15
