HI Rahul,

 

I have a question regarding translation of a local co-ordinate system to which number of nodes are assigned.

 

When i am translating the local co-ordinate system nodes assigned to it are also moving resulting in element distortion.

 

Is there a way i can translate my local co-ordinate system without affecting the nodes assigned to it.

 

Thank you

 

Regards

Yasir

    Can't you just duplicate the system, translate it and then reassign the nodes to the new system?

    You can select the nodes in question, and assign them (set reference and displacement) to the global system. (the coordinate system always visible in the bottom corner of the screen) then move the coordinate system.
