Does anyone have any idea how to handle math expressions with degrees
using CW5.5?

I cannot find anything in the CW documentation that makes any reference
to handling degrees.

Below is an example of a math statement, representative of formulas
that use two sets of values in degrees. In CW, what conversion formula
could I use to get CW to produce the same math result?

EXAMPLE:

292.797297526=3D292.411=B0+1.915=B0*(sin(011.401=B0))+0.020=B0*(sin(2*011.4=
01=B0))

LOC:RESULT=3DLOC:VARA+1.915=B0*(sin(LOC:VARB))+0.020=B0*(sin(2*LOC:VARB))

Expressing 1.915 degrees and 0.020 degrees in some other form
compatible with CW math functions seem to be the issue. All of the
other sets of numbers are local variables that I put values to for the
sake of clarity.

I've been playing with 57.3 (180 degrees divided by PI as a direction
for a solution) but I'm still not getting the math to justify with the
known result (292.797297626).

Any ideas? Thanks!

Maybe this value will help you.

Hi,

Try

LOC:VARA REAL
LOC:VARB REAL
CODE
LOC:VARA = 292.411
LOC:VARB = 11.401
LOC:RESULT=LOC:VARA+1.915*(sin(LOC:VARB/57.3))+0.020°*(sin(2*LOC:VARB/57.3))
