Force in Local Axis

Altair_Yardim

Hi,

 

I am trying /th/inter to find force between 2 parts in local axis but I can't do in local axis.

Is there any way to read force in local axis?

Hi,

 

as far as I know, there is no way to get contact time history output in a local coordinate system. 

 

As a workaround, you can request contact force output /ANIM/VECT/CONT. In postprocessing with Hyperview, create a local coordinate system and use this system under Resolved in User system. Finally, use the query to extract the force components as resolved in the local coordinate system.

 

Here is the procedure:
