For help understanding magnet orientation and rotation within the simulation environment please refer to Section A.3.

Joystick motion has the fewest constraints when rotating the magnet. The magnet pivots around the origin by an arc length defined as Tilt Angle in this mode, as shown in Figure 4-8. The resolution of the tilt angle can be set using the step size as described in Section 4.3.

The direction of rotation is around the Y axis when XY Angle is set to 0. The XY Angle defines the direction of the tilt within the XY plane relative to this starting direction as shown in Figure 4-9.
