When i have two Design studys in my ssp file and i want to change the direction of forces by defining another coordinate system and selecting the new coordinate system in the edit force definition this does not seem to work?

    Nothing happening here. This used to be a lot faster when i was directly with Victor and Ken. This is not what i expected from Altair.

    Would have to see the model, but I believe the issue may be the local coordinate system is not propagating between design studies. You may need to recreate it in the second study.

    When i recreate the same coordinate system in the second design study, and try to apply the forces again as in the first design study they have a different orientation. This is an error, i think.

    Has been solved by a special build i received from Ken. Thanks Ken!
