Description

The Rotation Angles to Direction Cosine Matrix block determines the direction cosine matrix (DCM) from a given set of rotation angles, R1, R2, and R3. For example, the default rotation angle order ZYX represents a sequence where R1 is z-axis rotation (yaw), R2 is y-axis rotation (pitch), and R3 is x-axis rotation (roll). Use the Rotation Order parameter to change the sequence. The rotation angles represent a series of right-hand intrinsic passive transformation from frame A to frame B. The resulting direction cosine matrix represents a right-hand rotation from frame A to frame B.
