Parameters
- Name
- Type:
System String
This is the name of a grid system. If this is the name
of an existing grid system, that grid system is modified,
otherwise a new grid system is added.
- 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 is successfully added or modified,
otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
Modifying the Global grid system will fail and return an error.
