Creating Isocline Curves

$

Hello

 

I am trying to create an isocline curve on a sphere based on an input angle. Using the extract curve option, I choose the vector type as + Z axis.

 

For the angles I choose start and end angles the same as my input angle ( 0 and 89 in my case) and a step of 0 since I want a single curve and not a family of curves.

 

When my input angle is 89, it gives me an isocline as shown in the following figure

whereas for an input of 0 degrees I get the following result

Isocline_issue.PNG

Now, I am confused because as per the definition of isocline curves the angle which I input is the ''Isocline angle (between specified direction and  normals of the curves) in degrees'' as per open C reference:https://docs.plm.automation.siemens.com/data_services/resources/nx/10/nx_api/en_US/custom/ugopen_doc/index.html for UF_create_isocline curves. 

 

So as per definition above shouldnt the curves I got be opposite (as in for input angle of 89 degree i should get the curve I got for input 0 and vice versa) ? How exactly is an isocline defined in NX?

 

Thanks
