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
