Local coordinate system
Local coordinate system
(OP)
Hello,
I'm calculating a circural simply supported plate in Marc. I have made a model by creating a curve and doing automesh with quad(4) elements to get regular rectangular mesh (except elements near outer circle). But my results are not what I want because elements have diffrent coordinate system. I am not satisfied with result even with reading them in cylindrical coordinate system, because element at boundaries have rotated coord' system and results are not displayed properly.
My question is:
How to rotate local coordinate system of quad elements?
Thanks in advance
