coordinate problem

(OP)
Hi everyone,
this is my first post in this forum.

I am doing 2D hemisphere model pressurized by axial load on its surface by writing input file.

For node arrangement:
Node 1 is located at coordinate (43.59,90) at far right-edge of the hemisphere and center is at node 999 at origin.

The problem here is how i could locate node 101 (the far left-edge of the hemisphere) as the coordinate would be (-43.59,90)?

I got error message during analysis job as the coordinate could not be negative value.

Thanks for your help

RE: coordinate problem

I'd suggest that the error you see is because you have 2D axisymmetric geometry and as such you can't have a negative X value, or negative radius as it would be in RZ geometry.
