TranNodeQuat

Purpose

transforms node quaternions and moments to rotations and moments

Synopsis

[U,P] = TranNodeQuat (Model,Uq,Pq,rix)

Description

TRANNODEQUAT transforms node quaternions and moments to rotations and moments
  [U,P] = TRANNODEQUAT (MODEL,UQ,PQ,RIX)
  the function transforms the node quaternions UQ and their work conjugate
  quaternion moments PQ to rotations U and work conjugate moments M;
  MODEL carries the information about the structural model and RIX is
  the index of rotation dofs at each node, which must be of length 3;
  translations and work conjugate forces in UQ and PQ return unaffected
