Hello,
I have another vector problem, and I honestly have no idea how to solve it. (I am not even sure if there is a solution). I tried to simplify it as much as possible (also the attached maple file)unknown_vector.mw

We are looking for the vectors v2, v3 and v4 
Given are vector v1 (with its unit vector e1 and magnitude m1), the unit vector of v2 (e2) and the unit vector of v3 (e3)
From vector v4 we don't have any information.
The following should be true:
v2 = v1 + v3 + v4, with the condition that v4 shall be as small as possible, with the goal to find the combination of v1 and v3 that comes as close as possible to v2. Of course, depending on the unit vectors, v4 can also be zero. But we assume that the given unit vectors can not be changed. 
I would be really grateful for any help. Thanks in advance!

Hello
I am a bit further with my initial vector question. I managed to decompose the vectors and set them as equations for each dimension (x, y, z) and solve a system of equations with the variables of the parametric surface and the parametric line (black). The goal is to calculate P (intersection with the surface) and, from there, the vector V1. The problem is that I always get zero as the solution for all the variables. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.question_surface_.mw
 

Hello

I have a question regarding the input of a list that I would like to use for further calculations. 
Attached, you’ll find the maple file with some vector calculations and a 3D visualisation. Three numbers are used as input (F_D3, F_D4, F_S2). I would like to use a function over time for these inputs instead of plain numbers. The function consists of an Excel list with an input number for each time step. How do I do this? Can I also use PlotVector in visu2 to plot a vector at a certain time step? 

For further processing, I would like the p-norm (F_E2) of vector RF_E2 to be visualized/plotted as a function over time. How do I approach this? 

Thank you very much for your help in advance!

Hello 

I have a 3D vector plot with 3 vectors. It would be nice to have a legend for this, but so far, I have struggled to find a solution.

At the moment, I use a caption for this, but I am not fully happy with this.legend_question.mw 

Is there a simple solution?

Thanks in advance 

Hello, I have a question regarding finding two vectors that result in a resulting vector with only the directions of the two needed vectors.

Given:

- Vector F_RC1

- Unit Vector of F_RC1Y (called EV_C1Y)

- Unit Vector of F_RC1_ST (called EV_C1_ST)

Needed

- F_RC1_ST

- F_RC1Y

The picture below and the file should make it clear.

How do I approach this? Best regards,
