Changing the result coordinate system in workbench

[Shockdesigner331]

Hello all. The answer to this might be right in front of me, but how do I change the result coordinate system in workbench? Basically I have a torsion spring (of sorts) and am applying a moment to it. I've inserteda cylindrical system already. My problem is that I want to see the angular rotation hence the clyindrical cs. What am I missing here?! (I know this can be done in classic...)

Thanks.

Hi,
If you have created a local CSYS,then check Detail view of the stress or deformation under consideration,detail view<Definition<cooordinate system,

Thanks Badri07. I changed the coordinate system to the cylindrical system that I created, however the directional deformation results are inches even though I have the rotational axis selected (phi). Any thoughts on how to get this into degrees?

Hi,
WARNING: the displacement results are always in units of [length], even if the RSYS is cylindrical and you ask for the "Y" displacement. In fact, it has to be interpreted as a tangential displacement.
If you deal with 3D elements (solids), you don't have "rotation" for the simple reason that rotational DOFs don't exist for them.

Hope this helps...
Regards
