Two-dimensional point or vector with an x and a y component

What the components mean and to which plane they refer depends on the CPACS element in which the point is used, e.g. the coordinates of a point in a structural profile, the centre of gravity of a beam cross section or scaling factors.

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

<point uID="examplePoint">
    <x>0</x>
    <y>0.025</y>
</point>
Point with x and y coordinates
