Calculate the normal vector between two nodes in the space
Hi! I have two nodes A and B. These are positioned in space with the same value of X and Y but different Z. The normal in this case would be n=[0 0 1] (red plane parallel to the XY plane).
I would like to calculate the normal n ‘green’ in the case of nodes A and C. Is this possible?
A = [-33.24 -10.70 7.41];
B = [A(1,1), A(1,2), A(1,3)+5];
N = [A;B];
C = [A(1,1), A(1,2)+7, A(1,3)+5];
NN = [A;C];
figure
plot3(A(1,1),A(1,2),A(1,3),’k.’,’Markersize’,30);
hold on
plot3(B(1,1),B(1,2),B(1,3),’r.’,’Markersize’,30);
plot3(C(1,1),C(1,2),C(1,3),’g.’,’Markersize’,30);
plot3(N(:,1),N(:,2),N(:,3),’-k’,’LineWidth’,1);
plot3(NN(:,1),NN(:,2),NN(:,3),’-k’,’LineWidth’,1);
hold off
