Thx for answer.
Now I ask you another question.
If I create a new Coordinate system How can I associate all the node of the model to the new CSYS created in Abaqus viewer?
I need to doing it because I wont know the position of a node respect to a particular CSYS!!!

RE: Distance between nodes

Hi,
It depends on your objective.
When you say ,,abaqus viewer, I assume it is an ODB file
So you want to see node,results in a particular system
You have to go Result>>Options>>Transformation>>User Specified
But lets say you have to know distance of just a node from a csys.
Better is get a RP at csys and measure distance from it.
Regards

RE: Distance between nodes

Hi,
I must do what you said, the distance between a csys created in Abaqus viewer and a node.
I think is possible create, in Abaqus viewer, a "temporary node" on CSYS origin but I don't know how do it.
What is it mean get RP a CSYS?

Thanks a lot.
Regards
