simscape.multibody.Rotation Class

Namespace: simscape.multibody

Abstract base class for 3-D rotations

Since R2022a

Description

simscape.multibody.Rotation is the abstract base class for 3-D rotations. A rotation affects only the relative orientation between two arbitrary frames. To construct a rotation, use an object of a subclass of the Rotation class, such as simscape.multibody.ArbitraryAxisRotation or simscape.multibody.RotationMatrixRotation.
