Orientation Analysis (Conversion)

Description

This Filter generates a new orientation representation for each Element, given the Input Orientation Representation for the Element. The following table lists the various orientation representations that are supported. DREAM3D is capable of converting between any representation with some caveats.

The valid range for Euler angles is:

  • phi-1: 0 to 360
  • Phi : 0 to 180
  • phi-2: 0 to 360

If the angles fall outside of this range the original Euler Input data WILL BE CHANGED to ensure they are within this range.

Orientation Representation No. of Components Orientation Type Index
EulerAngles 3 0
OrientationMatrix 9 1
Quaternions 4 2
AxisAngle 4 3
Rodrigues Vectors 4 4
Homochoric 3 5
