Parameters
- Name
- Type:
System String
The name of an existing grid system.
- x
- Type: System Double
The global X grid of the origin of the grid system. [L]
- y
- Type: System Double
The global Y grid of the origin of the grid system. [L]
- RZ
- Type: System Double
The rotation of an axis of the new grid system relative to the
global grid system is defined as follows:
(1) Rotate the grid system about the positive global Z-axis
as defined by the RZ item. [deg]
Return Value
Returns zero if the grid system data is successfully retrieved,
otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
