Csys origin position for pre/post-processing

Csys origin position for pre/post-processing

Csys origin position for pre/post-processing

(OP)
Dear all,

The problem I’m currently facing with coordinate systems (Csys) is the following:
- During pre-processing a Csys different from the model’s main Csys is created at a specific position.
- During post-processing , the origin of this different Csys becomes the same than the model’s main Csys origin.

I've been through the documentation and found nothing on this matter. The only solution I have now is to create again a Csys in the .odb file.

My questions are:
- in a Model, if a Datum Csys is created at a specific position as a feature at Assembly or Part level, how is it possible to recover it at its initially defined position in the .odb file for post-processing purposes?
- is it possible to write in the .inp file the origin and axes of this different Csys?

Thanks in advance for your support!

Antoine
