Notes on the DA file All motion-type are saved as a polynomial file-type, with their coefficients. If the segment is a Traditional Motion-Law of the Harmonic Type, for example a Modified-Sinusoid, then:
The Blend-Points for the sub-segments are at the 'natural' positions within the Segment.
The Polynomial coefficients minimize the error between the actual Segment and the Polynomial Segment. For example,
To review the Blend-Points and the sub-segments, you can do: Open and Append and select the DA file-type after you save it. |
