# Frames

When analyzing the stress-energy tensor the frame of observation influences the values that will be observed. In Warp Factory frame transformations are done on the stress-energy tensor using observer tetrads that can transform the tensor. Currently, this transformation occurs using the [doFrameTransfer](/warp-factory/modules/analyzer-module/doframetransfer.md) function and is an important step that is used in the [getEnergyConditions](/warp-factory/modules/analyzer-module/getenergyconditions.md) function which evaluates the observers for energy condition violations.

{% hint style="info" %}
Only the Eulerian frame is defined which is used to determine the energy conditions, see [doFrameTransfer](/warp-factory/modules/analyzer-module/doframetransfer.md#eulerian-frame)for details on the computation of the frame. 
{% endhint %}

The following frames are defined within Warp Factory:

<table><thead><tr><th width="208">Frame</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Eulerian</td><td>Local Eulerian stress-energy tensor at all points in spacetime. Note that this takes a specific spatial orientation in Warp Factory aligned with the coordinate system.</td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://applied-physics.gitbook.io/warp-factory/overview/frames.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
