Output question
Output question
(OP)
I have a small question on outputs such as E11,E22,E33,S11,S22,S33,U1,U2,U3 etc. Lets say I have use an orthotropic material and have defined the different material orientations. The outputs I mentioned earlier, are they based on the global coordinate system or the local coordinate system that I used to define the material orientation? Is there a way to get the outputs based on global and local at the same time? These are the questions that I would really need an answer too. Hope someone could help me with this. Thanks in advance.





RE: Output question
Yes.
Search "local coordinate system" in the CAE User's Manual. CAE lets you carry out the transformation.
