Finding the direction of the local axis

Is there any way that we can find the direction of the axes of the local coordinate system with respect to the global coordinate system? suppose that each axis is a unit vector, can I calculate the direction of the axis unit vector with respect to the x-y-z-axis in the global coordinate system?

Did you check out the online help for the Adams View - Function Builder (Design Time)?

LOC_GLOBAL() and ORI_GLOBAL() may give you something.

Quite often people use extra markers to e.g. have something to point towards, and then use ORI_IN_PLANE() or ORI_ALONG_AXIS() etc.

@Henrik Skovbjerg Thanks for your response! Yes, I checked the example in the Adams help for the function ORI_GLOBAL. Would you please help me with understanding how this function orients the local markers? Because I modeled the same markers and I got (90,90,90) instead of (270,0,0). Does it rotate marker_1 or marker_2 ?

@Fatemeh Hashemian Not quite sure what you mean, but remember Adams uses Euler angles (z-x-z) instead x-y-z.

@Niels de Vries Attached is the example I am talking about. I understand that the convention is 313 in AView. But I am not able to get (270,0,0). I need to understand how does it work in this example.
