Radial boundary

Andrea

I bulit a link, defined two node sets an I have applied the card *TRANSFORM defining two cylindrical coordinates in CCX (Z axis coincident with hole axis) by Mecway CCX custom model definition. So X displacement in CCX became radial displacement. Is it possible to define in Mecway a coordinate system?

Victor

Mecway doesn't have a way to define node coordinate systems other than defining *TRANSFORM by hand. Is your aim to get a plot of the radial component of displacement instead of the X,Y,Z components? This sounds like something that would best be done with in postprocessing, however it doesn't currently have that either.

Ok! For plotting displacents and stress components in cylindrical coordinates I use CGX typing "trfm cyl z"
