working plane 1

[HugoFr]

Hi,

I've created a working plane and I would like my forces and displacements to be created I this WP. After the WPLANE command, I've added :

CSYS,4
CSWPLA,11
DSYS,11
WPCSYS,11

Then, when I create my forces, they seem to be placed correctly in this WP but when I ask ANSYS to solve, they are automatically reoriented in the original coordinate system

Any idea?

thanks in advance!!
cheers

Nodal forces are applied in nodal coordinate systems!

You have to rotated the node coordinate systems via nrot command in to your local coordinate system!
