How can I change the referencing coordinate system of different cbeam pin degree of freedom?
For example if I match a rbe2 element and a beam element (pin with a = 4 at rbe2 and b = 0 to another beam element) the beam can rotate with 1 DoF referencing the global x-axis. But my beams are 3D oriented and thus don't align to a single global axis. If possible, where can I reference a local axis system? Or is there an easier solution?
My second main concern is the hinge orientation itself. I have pairs of beams that have different bending lines in 3D space. So the orientation of the 1 DoF hinge behavior is also important to me. Maybe if possible this can be solved by rotating the referencing coordinate system around the beam normal axis.
