Realisation of a coplanar elliptical CB-SMBH system with clouds in non-coplanar orbits in both BLRs calculated from the model. M1 and M2 show the locations of the SMBHs in a binary system. Blue ellipses are every 20th of the 100 orbits of clouds in each BLR. The SMBH parameters are M1 = 6 ⋅ 107M, M2 = 4 ⋅ 107M,  A0 = 100,  Ω1 = Ω2 = 3° , ω1 = 1° , ω2 = 181° , e1 = e2 = 0.5. Clouds parameters are Ωc1 = Ωc2 = 180° , ωc1 = 2° , ωc2 = 182° , i = ( − 40° ,40° ),  e = 0.5, but their orbital planes have different inclinations. The reference plane (BXY) is the plane of the relative orbit of M2 to M1, and the origin of the coordinate system is the barycentre (B) of the CB-SMBH system. (a) Elevation view of the CB-SMBH system. (b) Side view to the YBZ coordinate plane.
