`**process transform_frame`#

Description#

This post calculation calculates existing variables in a new local frame. Variables can be either tensors or vectors.

Syntax#

**process transform_frame \(~\,\) *local_frame type [ *tensor_variables tensor_var1 tensor_var2 … ] [ *vector_variables vector_var1 vector_var2 … ] [ *suffix suffix ] [ *output_variables name1 name2 … ]

*local_frame: specifies the local frame type. type can be euler, cartesian, cylindrical, spherical or be specified by a z7p script. Refer to **local_frame for more details and syntax.
tensor_variables: is the list of tensor variables to transform.
vector_variables: is the list of vector variables to transform.
suffix: this suffix is added to the variable names (default is -rot);
*output_variables: can alternatively be specified to specify a different output name.
