Could anyone please explain to me what the SKEW Identifier is ? I have come across this a lot of times.

    Hi vishruthdilip

     

    Skews in Radioss are used to define local directions or coordinate system. These directions can be used to apply Boundary conditions, Concentrated load and fixed velocity

    Skews can be used to define:

    • Rigid link orientation
    • Rigid body added inertia frame
    • General spring reference frame
    • Beam type spring initial reference frame
    • Nodal time history output frame

    Please check this video on skew creation for better understanding
