Change local axis analytical model

Anonymous — Mon, 29 Oct 2018 22:19:54 GMT

Hi everybody!

Is there any way to change the local axis direction of the analytical model? I would like to change x axis with z in order to import the analytical model in my FE software without changing the direction of every single local axis..

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

The local coordinate system of an element is hardcoded and can't be changed by the user.

The creation of the local axes are described in the above help page:
