VectorCross_i
The VectorCross_i function requires 2 parameters, each of which must be the name of a vector that has been previously identified with the $Vector directive. This function is not applicable for 2D vectors.
VectorCross_i returns a scalar, which is the component of the cross product of the two vectors in the i-direction. The units of the scalar is the product of the units of the two vectors provided as parameters.
Example 1: {3D vectors}
$Vector A B C
A=VectorAssign(1,2,3) [m]
B=VectorAssign(4,5,6) [m]
C=VectorCross(A,B)
D=VectorCross_i(A,B)
{Solution:
A = (1, 2, 3) [m]
B = (4, 5, 6) [m]
C = (-3 ,6, -3) [(m)*(m)]
D= -3 [(m)*(m)]
}
