Hello,

I would like to assign local coordinate systems to elements of the type SOLID186. The elements are roughly brick-shaped.

The origin of the system should be in the center of mass, the axes as shown in the picture:

(z in the direction of the connection of the two smallest faces)

Can anybody tell me how to do this? I need the coordinates of three keypoints to define the coordinate system with cskp.
