To get to the 'movingModel' node you could either access it by its index (like
model->getChild(1)' or write a visitor to find it by name.
You can then dynamic_cast this to PositionAttitudeTransform and perform the
desired
operation. (The node has to be created as a PAT; it's not obvious what
'createFrustumGeode' creates.)
