Rigids with cylindrical system

hi everyone,

I've create a fixed axial displacement in the indipendent node of a rigid (whose displacement is assigned to a cylindrical system). The only problem is that the dependent nodes (these too assigned to the cylindrical system before creating the rigid) moves in a different direction, as if their assignement to the cylindrical system wasn't valid anymore. Does it mean that rigid are not compatible with cylindrical system?

Below I've attached a pictrure that show the issue.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>rigid_problem.png

 

thanks,

    Hi Luke31,

     

    Is the independent node assigned to local system?

     

    Can you share the model file?

    yes, before defining the rigids, I've assigne both the indipendent node and the dependent nodes to a cylindrical system located in the system collector.

     

    Here I've attached the model.

     

    Thanks,

    Hi Luke31,

     

    I updated the system and nodes, 

     

    I don't see the behavior as you shown in an image in from one of your posts.
