Hi Everybody,
My question is regarding transformation of results from rectangular coordinate system to cylindrical coordinate system. I created quarter symmetric cylinder model and I wanted to see results in cylindrical coordinate system. I have defined origin of the cylindrical coordinate system at the center of the cylinder cross section. When I see output for COORDS->COOR1 (which is the radial coordinates in cylindrical coordinate system), I am getting some weird output (see the attached picture). Ideally, we should expect concentrated contours of colors in output display. With 90 deg. angular rotation, radial co-ordinates are changing from +4.76 to -6.35 in the same plane along the circumference of the cylinder. How is it possible? Can somebody please explain this discrepancy?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Nik
How have you changed the coordinate system?
Just in the results visulalization?
I'm using Abq 6.13 since one year and it works fine!
