The Magnitude method creates Vectors from a specified vector magnitude, direction and base point. The base point can be expressed by cartesian coordinates or by an existing vertex, node or other point location provided by the Point select menu.

Creates a vector based at point 1 and directing along the X axis. The vector has a magnitude of 1.0.

The Interpolate method using the Point option will create n points of uniform or nonuniform spacing between a specified pair of point locations, where n is the number of interior points to be created. The point location pairs can be existing points, vertices, nodes or other point location provided by the Point select menu.

The Intersect method creates Vectors from the intersections of pairs of Planes. The origins of the two planes will be projected onto the intersection line to determine the base and tip of the resulting vector. If the base and tip are not unique, the tip will be assumed.

Creates a vector along the intersection of Plane 1 and Plane 2.

The Normal method using the Plane option creates Vectors from normal vectors to a Plane; originating at the plane and passing through a point. The tip point can be expressed by cartesian coordinates or by an existing vertex, node or other point location provided by the Point select menu.

Creates a vector which is directing along the normal of Plane 1.

The Normal method using the Plane option creates Vectors from normal vectors to a Plane. The base point can be expressed by cartesian coordinates or by an existing vertex, node or other point location provided by the Point select menu.

Creates a vector which is directing along the normal of Surface 1 at Point 5.

The Normal method using the Element Face option creates Vectors from normal vectors to an Element Face. The base point of the vector will be the element face centroid by default, but a node on the element face may also be specified.

Creates a vector along the normal of the element face at Node 6.

Creates a vector along the normal of the element face at Node 2.

The Product method creates vectors of the cross products of two existing vectors. The base point of the created vector will be the base point of the first vector.

Creates Vector 3, which is the cross product of Vector 1 and Vector 2.

The 2 Point method creates vectors between two existing point locations. The point locations can be existing points, vertices, nodes, or other point locations provided on the Point select menu.

Creates a vector starting from Point 1 and ending at Point 2.
