Name	Occurrences	Description
All
rotation	[0, 1]	Rotation data default: 0,0,0. The rotation angles are the three Euler angles to describe the orientation of the coordinate system. The order is always xyz in CPACS. Therefore the first rotation is around the x-axis, the second rotation is around the rotated y-axis (y') and the third rotation is around the two times rotated z-axis (z'').
scaling	[0, 1]	Scaling data default: 1,1,1. Those parameters describe the scaling of the x-, y-, and z-axis.
translation	[0, 1]	Translation data default: 0,0,0. Translations can either be made absolute in the global coordinate system (absGlobal) or absolute in the local Coordinate system (absLocal).

Remarks

Transformation type, containing a set of transformations. The order of the transformations is scaling -> rotation -> translation, and they are executed in this order. Any of them can be omitted; it will be replaced by its defaults.Transformations are always executed relative to the child not the parent. I.e. a scaling does not have an influence on the parent item. For example in the outer geometry of a wing the element scaling does not influence the section. Scaling does also not effect rotation and translation.
