CHANGE OF BASIC POINT

 

Author : Jean Michel Ferrard
Syntax : newpoint ( matrice , matrice )
Require : MOMENT in the active folder.

The function newpoint() changes the basic point of a torque. If for example T is defined by { A,t (A),R }, then the choice of a new basic point M defines T by { M,t (M),R }.

 

This function integrates a complete help accessible via the catalog.

 

Example :

The torque T is defined by the point P(1,0,1), the moment T (P)=(2,-1,3), and the resultant R=(-5,2,4). One changes the basic point into M(x,y,z). The moment T (p) is thus replaced by T (M).The resultant remains of course the same one.
