This record consists of three fields: the translations along the local X, Y and Z axes, respectively. There is no standard convention for the appearance of this record, ACE seems to employ a slightly different format for each circumstance, but the most common is:

<spc><spc>XTran<spc>YTran<spc>ZTran<nl>

where XTran is a double containing the local X-axis translation, YTran is a double containing the local Y-axis translation, ZTran is a double containing the local Z-axis translation, <spc> is the space character and <nl> is the newline sequence.

Note the term "local" when referring to the translation along each axis; the translation is dependent upon the current orientation of the cell. Refer to the section on rotation for additional information. However, translations are applied before the rotation and scaling transformations from the same geometry record.

If geometry data is not present, then the translation values all default to 0.
