Hi, 

In a cylindrical coordinate system I have three dirction, r, t and z.

In the constraint table in analysis what dof1, dof2, dof3 refer to?

I think that's dof1 refers to the traslation along r, dof2 to traslation along t and dof3 to traslation along z but I'm not sure of it.

I would like to know if my idea is correct.

    Hi mabefa,

     

    Yes you are right. Dof's 1,2 and 3 are the translation along r, t and z respectively.

     

    Thank you.
