Transform coordinate system

[Mary rs]

Hi,

I have a little confusion on applying transform coordinate system for particular node sets. Can anyone give idea on how to select the required transform coordinate system for a particular node set?

Thank you.

In preprocessing or postprocessing?

Coordinate systems are used to assign boundary conditions, loads, material orientations (or, in general, vector fields), etc. Typically, you create local coordinate systems using tools in CAE and then refer to those in the BCs/loads/material orientations/..
