Dose nodal coordinate affect surface load?
Dose nodal coordinate affect surface load?
(OP)
Hi,everyone:
If there is a cylinder on whose side face pressure is loaded. I know that pressure is a surface load which is loaded on the element, but in tht simulation, this element load wiil be transformed to nodes. Do I have to rotate the nodal coordinate to a cylinder coordinate system? If I don't do it, were the result be influenced?

But in the examples in ANSYS Help Document, when the model is cylinder, the nodes are all transformed to a cylinder coordinate system, especially when some nodes are constrained.
