Package Frames.Quaternions contains type definitions and functions to transform rotational frame quantities with quaternions. Functions of this package are currently only utilized in MultiBody.Parts.Body components, when quaternions shall be used as parts of the body states. Some functions are also used in a new Modelica package for B-Spline interpolation that is able to interpolate paths consisting of position vectors and orientation objects.
In the table below an example is given for every function definition. The used variables have the following declaration:
Quaternions.Orientation Q, Q1, Q2, Q_rel, Q_inv; Real[3,3] T, T_inv; Real[3] v1, v2, w1, w2, n_x, n_y, n_z, res_ori, phi; Real[6] res_equal; Real L, angle;
