DEVELOPING DYNAMIC SIMULATIONS AND ANIMATIONS BY USING LlNEAR TRANSFORMATI ON MATRIXES AND POSITION VECTORS FOR ELECTRlCAL EDUCATION

Abstract

Teaching and teaming techniques using computer-hased resources greatly improve the effectiveness and efficiency oflearning process. Today, there are a lot of simulation and an imation packages in use; so me of them are developed forprofessional purposes, and some are developed for educational purposes. The education-purposed packages can not beflexible sufficiently in different science branch. Therefore, some educators prefer devetoping his/her own simulationand animatian packages. This paper reports on the developing of dynamic simulation/an imation to enhance teaming andinterest by us ing computer graphics. Thus, a new point of view is introduced to educators in order to realize personaldynamic simulations/animations. In the method computer graphics, playing an important role in simulations andanimations, created with the linear transformatian matrixes and position vectors. The paper, also, shows how lineartransformatian can be successfully applied to computer graphics. Moreover, the paper briefly introduces severalexamples, which will be given as animation problems coming from electrlcal education.
