Three-dimensional point or vector with an x, a y and a z component and the coordinate system it refers to

What the components mean depends on the CPACS element in which the point is used, e.g. the translation of a transformation (transformationType) or the location of a mass.

The attribute refType states whether the values refer to the local coordinate system of the parent (absLocal, the default) or to the global coordinate system (absGlobal). Which node is the parent and how the local coordinate system is defined is described by the element that uses the point; for a translation, see transformationType. For a node without parent, both values refer to the global coordinate system.

The translation of a vertical tail, relative to the origin of the fuselage it is attached to: 

<translation refType="absLocal">
    <x>22</x>
    <y>0</y>
    <z>0.8</z>
</translation>
Translation relative to the parent
