Hello Everyone,

 

Trying to identifying the local system (local coordinate system) : Case-1 : Associated with the nodes / element.

                                                                                                     Case-2 : Not associated with the any nodes / element. but created over the component or within the component.

 

also struggling with the exporting of the local system.

 

please let me know if there is some solution can be generated or already exist.

 

thanks 

Adams

    Hi Shivanshu

    nodes have data names outputsystemid and inputsystemid so you can retrieve

    components have CID stored in template attribute so will depend on solver template you are using

    Hi tinh,

     

    Facing one problem when i am exporting the local coordinate without associating it with any node/element then the position of he coordinate system is changing.

     

    but when coordinate system is associated with nodes/element then its ok.

     

    is this problem can be fixed because i dont want to change any node coordinate according to local coordinate....jut for reference i need it inside the model / assembly.

     

    Thanks
