Hello,

I've just defined a CSYS type=S, to apply a spherical connector to it.
I'm receiving the error message :"a material point in element xx lies on the polar axis. The orientation cannot be defined.Use the option orientation,System=rectangular or move the polar axis away from the material point".

The nodes of this connector point directly to the center of this sphere,to model this spherical joint, and I don't seem to understand the problem with orientation definition.

Can someone help?

thanks
