3D surface spherical integral

[Kawshik]

Hi,

I am like would to know how to integrate a 3D surface for a specific solid angle in spherical co-ordinates (for example, a solid angle subtened by a 'lens').  The 3D surface is in cartesian co-ordinates.  I am able to convert the 3D surface from cartesian to spherical co-ordinates, but I am having problems with displaying them in 3D surface graph (in spherical co-ordinates mode).

It would be nice if somebody can help me out.

I have attached two files.  1) Screen shot of the program, 2) Actual program.

The program creates a parametric ellipsoid surface in Cartesian co-ordinates and converts into Spherical co-ordinates.  I need to then perform integration (which is not included).

Hi,

unfortunately your VI doesn't run on my Computer, because there are some VIs missing. could you please Zip your entire Project and post it here.

I think the problem might be, that you are using the wrong type of coordinate System to display spherical cordinates. Without your VI beeing functional it's a little hard to tell, though.

Best regards,

Hi Peter,

here are the two missing sub VIs.  Hope it works now.
