interrogating results using additional coord systems

Hi i want to use an additional coord system to interrogate displacements results. When the new coord is applied and the pick info used with this new coord system the results don't seem to be aligned to the chosen coord system

 

in the pic attached the picked values are interrogated based on coord system 2  which has Y & Z on the face and X into the component. This should result in  output displacements with X value = zero as the face chosen is in the Y-Z plane ( x=0) but none of the picked values show zero! 

can you confirm what the Displacement results shown in the pick info window relate to?

    Hi Andrew,

    When the resolved system is set to a local system, all we do in pick info is to apply coordinate transformations to show the results in the selected system.

    If you are seeing any discrepancies, please feel free to share the Simsolid project with us. We can help you out.

    Thanks,
