I would like to have the moving heat source going along the y axis in the new coordinate system (15),
But I got the source moving along the y-axis in the global coordinate system (0).
How can I modify the APDL code to move the heat source along with the diagonal (local coordinate system, 15)?
APDL CODE is given below:
