Pro/E Transform Format?

[jhyder79]

I have a tough question that I can't seem to find the answer to. I'm trying to figure out exactly what the information in a Pro/E transform file means (i.e. an info.trf file). It looks something like this:

0.839714 -0.543003 -0.005305 -44.382668
0.543003 0.839538 0.017984 145.345912
-0.005312 -0.017982 0.999824 -1.460744

From what I can gather, the first 3 numbers of each row is a vector and the last one is a distance from the global coordinate system. I would like to figure out a way to convert this data into a angle rotation sequence for use with models with flexible components. I have tried using the Euler equations for angles of rotation, but no matter which way I sequence things, I don't get the same numbers that are in the transform file.

Does anyone out there know enough about Pro/E transforms to tell me how to get this data into a sequence of rotations in X, Y, and Z?

Thanks!

this may help some... I see semi colons in the preview post, they must be coming across from my paste.. theyare not be there in the *.trf file

1&nbsp ; 0&nbsp ; 0 8.6603
.577350269189626 1&nbsp ; 0 5
0&nbsp ; 0&nbsp ; 1 0



this is if you wanted a csys on a 20bhc at 30 degrees with the csys rotated 30 also


the .577 number is the tangent of 30 whichrotates it with it 5 trans.
