Hi everybody,

I am doing one analysis with UMAT, in which I want to assign material properties to the points in space based on their co-ordinates in user defined local CSYS. The problem is UMAT by default uses coordinates of the points based on global CSYS. Hence can somebody please guide me on how to convert local CSYS into global CSYS or how to change configuration in UMAT so that it uses co-ordinates of points based on local CSYS?
Any help in this matter would be appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Nik
