VectorCross_k
The VectorCross_k function requires 2 parameters, each of which must be the name of a vector that has been previously identified with the $Vector directive.
VectorCross_j returns a scalar, which is the component of the cross product of the two vectors in the k-direction. For 2D vectors, this function returns the same reult as the VectorCross function.
The units of the scalar is the product of the units of the two vectors provided as parameters.
Example:
$Vector A B C
A=VectorAssign(1,2,3) [m]
B=VectorAssign(4,5,6) [m]
C=VectorCross(A,B)
F=VectorCross_j(A,B)
{Solution:
A = (1, 2, 3) [m]
B = (4, 5, 6) [m]
C = (-3 ,6, -3) [(m)*(m)]
F= -3 [(m)*(m)]
}
