CONVERT CARTESIAN TO CYLINDRICAL

Converts a curve defined in Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) to cylindrical coordinates (r, θ, z). Use this worker whenever downstream processing or visualization requires a cylindrical reference frame, such as axisymmetric structures, rotating components, or radial cross-section analysis.

When to use

Classification: process.

Tagged: cartesian, conversion, coordinate_transform, curve, cylindrical.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Curve In Cartesian Coordinates curvein_cartesian_coordinates vector   Input curve expressed in Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z); provided as a vector/curve object. Optional — leave unconnected only if supplying the curve through another upstream source.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
Curve in Cylindrical Coordinates curve_cartesian_to_cylindrical_1 vector Output curve re-expressed in cylindrical coordinates (r, θ, z), where r is the radial distance, θ is the azimuthal angle in radians, and z is the axial component unchanged from the input.
