Angle for a node
Angle for a node
(OP)
Hi,
Not sure if this is the right forum but Ill give it a try. I have my pipeline configuration and all the nodes are given in global coordinates. I want to know the angle between my global X axis and the specific node. See my link for explanation. The red dot is the searched node angle. Do you know how I can do?
Thanks!

RE: Angle for a node
csys,1 ! set csys to global cylindircal
angle=ny(2631)
The ny(nodenum) is a "Get Function." These are documented in Appendix B of the ANSYS Parametric Design Language Manual.

I have coordinates for all the nodes (Estern, Northing) but I want to know the angle of a specific node in relation to the global coordinate system.
Thanks

If the elements are linear then just do some trigonometry (atan2, not atan) on the coordinates of their end nodes to get the angles.
