pointType

What the components mean and to which coordinate system they refer depends on the CPACS element in which the point is used, e.g. the location of a mass, a translation, scaling factors or rotation angles.

A point with the optional uID, by which other elements can reference it:

<point uID="examplePoint">
    <x>1.2</x>
    <y>0</y>
    <z>-0.5</z>
</point>

Point with x, y and z coordinates
