Result(stress) in rotated axes,model geometry in prev. axes! 2

[amini06]

Hi
I am doing a structural analysis.
How we can define model & loads in a coordinate system and have the results(such as stresses ,etc)in the other defined coordinate system(a global CS for whole of the model generated by rotated axis, using "CLOCAL").(however we can calculate it out of ANSYS ,by using related matrix for rotated axes).

I try it by two ways:
1-using "csys,kcn" after /solu and just before SOLVE command
2-and also after /post1
But it did not work; whole of the model (geometry & load) rotate & so the results will be the same!?

May I have your advice?

Hi,

I think you should use /RSYS.

Hi,
Just as mihaiupb said, whatever coordinate system is used in the simulation, you can use 'RSYS' command to transform the result to a special coordinate system, which can be the ones difined in ANSYS and also can be local system defined by yourself.

Thanks Alex
Thanks liweisc
That is what I want.
