B) If the components of the direction vector of the rotation axis are in two
directions (type B)
This is a case in which the rotation axis rotates about an axis on the plane
formed by any two of the basic three axes.
1) Set the axis number for the rotation axis and linear axes 1, 2, and 3.
2) Linear axes 1, 2, and 3 are supposed to form a right-handed system in
that order.
3) The angle must satisfy the following:
- Rotation is on the plane of linear axes 3 and 1.
- The rotation of the angle in the plus direction is its rotation from the
plus direction of linear axis 3 to the plus direction of linear axis 1.
- The angle assumed at the time of a match with the direction of
linear axis 3 is 0 degrees.
4) The rotation axis must satisfy the following when the angle is 0
degrees:
- The rotation axis rotates about an axis orthogonal to the plane of
linear axes 1 and 2.
- The rotation of the rotation axis in the plus direction is its rotation
from the plus direction of linear axis 1 to the plus direction of
linear axis 2.
