 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). |
