functionfrom_T_inv

Return quaternion orientation object Q from inverse transformation matrix T_inv

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).

Information

Syntax

Q = Quaternions.from_T_inv(T_inv, Q_guess);

Description

This function returns a quaternions orientation Q. computed from an inverse transformation matrix T_inv and depending on the initial guess Q_guess. Generally, the transformation matrix T_inv can be gained using a function from the TransformationMatrices package, e.g. using T_inv = inverseRotation(T).
