How do I translate a number of nodes on the 1 DOF in a cylindrical system>

PCJohnson

I have a cloud of node or elements I need to translate in a cylindrical coordinate system on the 1 DoF (Radius). This was simple to do in the old interface but I cannot get it to work in the new interface. If I select the 1 DoF on the local cylindrical system it does a translation in a cartesian coordinate system manner.

Hello, I believe you received this answer already, but here it is for the rest that could use it

You can work with the Transformation Tool:

As you already have a local system defined, you can just define the "System Type" as Local and then select the desired system and a base node.

Here are some links that covers more about these features:
