Re: Rotation questions about Euler Angles

[Anthony Rollett]

Greetings

Dream3D uses the Bunge convention for Euler angles. It is also extremely important to learn about the difference between passive rotations (i.e., transformation of axes) and active rotations (as used in solid mechanics).  In materials science we mostly use the former, i.e., transformations of axes.  Time to read some textbooks (or, immodestly, my lecture notes at http://pajarito.materials.cmu.edu/27750/27750.html)!

Hi there,

I am trying to figure out the rotation of Euler Angles in Dream3D.

The first question is about the rotation axis sequence.

What is the rotation axis sequence of Euler Angles in Dream3D？ Maybe ZXZ?

The second question is about the rotation axis fixed or not. When we build a coordinate

system in three dimentional space, we have three axis X, Y, Z. Then we rotate an object

in the coordinate system. The rotation is represented by Euler Angles. Assume that the

Euler Angles's rotation axis is ZXZ. When we rotate the first angle around the Z axis, and

we will get a new X axis: X', and a new Y axis: Y'. So here comes a problem when I want

to rotate the second angle. Which axis should I choose as the rotation axis when I rotate

the second angle? The oringinal X axis or the new axis X' ?

Hi, Professor  Rollett

Thank you for your time. Now I understand it throughly.
