Description

Return the cross product–or vector product–of two 3-by-1 vectors. Each input is a vector of the form a1i^+a2j^+a3k^ where i, j, and k are unit vectors parallel to the x, y, and z coordinate axes. The output vector y→=a→×b→ is a 3 element vector orthogonal to the input vectors a→ and b→.

Ports

Input

Input vector b→, where the elements represent the magnitude of the vector parallel to the x, y, and z coordinate axes.

Data Types: double

Output

R2023b: To be removed

The Cross Product will be removed in a future release. Instead, use sim3d classes and Simulation 3D blocks to interface MATLAB® and Simulink® with the Unreal Engine® 3D simulation environment. To get started, see Create 3D Simulations in Unreal Engine Environment.
