coordsys

 

This routine defines a local coordinate system to be in effect until another coordinate system is defined or the normal coordinate system is reset. The new coordinate system is defined by specifying an origin, a point on the new x-z plane and a point on the new z-axis. these points are specified in the normal coordinate system.

coordsys / iopt / x0, y0, z0 /xx, xy, xz / zx, zy, z

 

coordsys Parameters

Parameters

Type/Value

Description/Default

iopt

define

Define a new local coordinate system mesh2.

 

normal

Return to the normal coordinate system mesh2.

 

save

Save the current coordinate system for recall mesh2.

 

restore

Recall the last saved coordinate system mesh2.

x0, y0, z0

reals

The location of the new origin, mesh2.

xx, xy, xz

reals

A point on the new x-z plane and mesh2.

zx, zy, zz

reals

A point on the new z-axis. These points are defined with the normal coordinate system, and used only with the define option mesh2.
