angle

Views.angle(wn='', theta='', axis='', kincr='', **kwargs)

Rotates the display about an axis.

Mechanical APDL Command: /ANGLE

Parameters:

wnstr

Window number (or ALL) to which command applies (defaults to 1).

thetastr

Angle (degrees) for changing display orientation (positive, counterclockwise about specified axis).

axisstr

Rotation axis: XS, YS, or ZS (default) for the screen axes; XM, YM, or ZM for the global Cartesian model axes. ZS is normal to the screen; all axes pass through the focus point.

kincrint or str

Cumulative rotation key:

• 0 - Do not use cumulative successive rotations.

• 1 - Use cumulative rotations. Rotations are relative to the previous rotation. View settings ( View ) are recalculated.

Notes

Default orientation is YS vertical. When the xfrm command is set for rotation about two points, or for entities, the angle command is functional only for Axis = ZS or ZM and KINCR = 1.

This command is valid in any processor.
