Write a program using Matlab that will rotate an arbitrary vector by an arbitrary set of Euler angles

Hi all,

I need to write a program that will take an arbitrary vector and then rotate it according to input Euler Angle values of psi, theta and phi. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

[Image Analyst]

newVector = rotationArray * oldVector;

What did you learn in class about the rotation matrix?

Answer 2

See this MATLAB answer for reference, which uses a 3-2-1 (consecutive rotations about the local z-, the local y-, and lastly, the local x-axis) rotation sequence. Note that your rotation sequence might be different, dependending on the problem you would like to solve. The overall rotation matrix corresponds to the

rotationArray

in the example shown by Image Analyst.
