BC in local coordinates

BC in local coordinates

BC in local coordinates

(OP)
Hello,

I have imposed a BC (in a local coordinate system) at a node and also imposed a load (in the global coordinate system) at that same node. When I go to submit the job, I get the error message: "Following attributes are applied to overlapping, intersecting, or adjoining regions in differing coordinate systems:...". Does anyone know how to correct this?

Thanks

RE: BC in local coordinates

Apply your load in the same local co-ordinate system?

RE: BC in local coordinates

Thank you for the response. I tried, but cannot figure out a way to apply the force at an angle to the local coordinate system (since the force is not normal to any of the local coordinate system axes, but is normal to a global coordinate system axis).
