CYLINDRICAL TO CARTESIAN COORDINATES

Converts a curve defined in cylindrical coordinates (r, θ, z) to Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z). Use this worker whenever downstream processing or visualization requires Cartesian-space geometry from cylindrically-parameterized curve data.

When to use

Classification: process.

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

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Curve In Cylindrical Coordinates curvein_cylindrical_coordinates vector   Input curve expressed in cylindrical coordinates as a vector of (r, θ, z) triplets; θ is expected in radians. Optional — leave unconnected only if the worker is being wired dynamically at runtime.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
Curve in Cartesian Coordinates curve_cartesian vector Resulting curve in Cartesian coordinates as a vector of (x, y, z) triplets, computed via x = r·cos(θ), y = r·sin(θ), z = z.
