What is quaternion rotation in SAP CA-VE - SAP Visual Enterprise?

SAP Term: quaternion rotation

• Component: CA-VE

• Component Name: SAP Visual Enterprise

• Description: A method that TCB controllers use to find their orientation. All three axes are evaluated at the same time to find a direction to travel, and a fourth value the w component or up vector tells the matrix how far to travel.

• Key Concepts: 
  Quaternion rotation is a mathematical concept used in SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) to represent 3D rotations. It is a four-dimensional vector that can be used to represent a 3D rotation in a single value. Quaternion rotation is used to rotate objects in 3D space, allowing for more realistic and accurate representations of objects. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Quaternion rotation can be used in SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) to rotate objects in 3D space. To use quaternion rotation, the user must first define the quaternion vector, which consists of four values: x, y, z, and w. The x, y, and z values represent the axis of rotation, while the w value represents the angle of rotation. Once the quaternion vector is defined, it can be used to rotate an object in 3D space. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using quaternion rotation in SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE), it is important to remember that the x, y, and z values represent the axis of rotation, while the w value represents the angle of rotation. Additionally, it is important to remember that quaternion rotation is a four-dimensional vector and must be defined as such when using it in SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE).
