VectorDot
The VectorDot function requires 2 parameters, each of which must be the name of a vector that has been previously identified with the $Vector or $Vector2D directive.
VectorDot returns a scalar which provides a measure of how closely the two vectors align and can be used to find the projection of one vector onto another. The units of the scalar that is returned by this function is the product of the units of the two vectors provided as parameters.
Example:
$Vector A B
A=VectorAssign(3,5,1) [mm]
B=VectorAssign(-4,6,2) [mm]
C=VectorDot(A,B)
{Solution:
A = (3, 5, -1) [mm]
B = (-4, 6, 2) [mm]
C = 20 [(mm)*(mm)]
}
