Hi,all!
I have a question about a rotating local coordinate system. Is there a way to define a local coordinate system which moving during analysis? I am doing an aeroelasticity analysis of a wind turbine. A local coordinate is required to attach to blade cross section. The local rotational displacement is required for output and update in aerodyanmic force calculations.
I know i could obtain all displacements in a fixed coordinate and then use transformation matrix to derive the local results. But just wondering if there is a easier way in ABAQUS to solve this problem (such as a attached coordinate that moves with deformation of a section).
I'd appreciate for any help! Thanks.
