do the global axis directions matter??

[aarondariusvaz]

Dear sir i have attached a picture of the beams created im new to robot so i have a lot of questions . do the global directions really matter ??

[Artur.Kosakowski]

Both global and local (these displayed on the bar elements) are very important. They are used e.g. for definition of  loads and display of results.

Are directions i have assigned alright for loading??

Hi

Are directions i have assigned alright for loading??

The desplayed directions in the picture are theb local axis of the bars and not the directions of loadings.

oh sorry i mean are these ok when compared to the local axis like now for example i saw a video where the person changes these axes to the global axis but im not really sure so just wanted clarification on that
