Changing XYZ axes
Changing XYZ axes
(OP)
Hi
I started making my model and as soon as i finished i realized that my one of the axis is wrong. Currently Y is the vertical axis where as it was supposed to be Z axis. Is there any possibility in ABAQUS 6.7 that i can change them i.e making 'Y' axis 'X' and 'Z' axis 'X'??
I would be grateful if i get any answers to this.
Regards

Think it is the *system that u need to use.
"This option is used to define nodes by accepting coordinates relative to a specified local rectangular coordinate system and generating the nodal coordinates in the global coordinate system."

you need to go in the Assembly module and use 'rotate instance' to rotate your assembly or part in any direction. it may show you a warning if you have position constraints ON in the assembly that they may get erroneous if you rotate the instance. Give it a go and the position constraints will move together with the assembly.
Hope this explaination would benefit the people.
