I understand now. The coordinate systems do not move with the mesh. In linear analysis, nothing moves at all; only displacements are computed and visualized as a deformed mesh.
As far as I know, you can only get the displacements of the nodes but not their rotations in CalculiX.
Hi Matej,
Iām just noticing that cylindrical coordinate systems can apparently only be created for 3D model space. Would it be possible to introduce them for 2D analyses as well?
I was playing with the interference fit model and determined exactly the same thing. In the code, I disabled it, but I have no clue why, maybe with respect to the axis-symmetric 2D models.
I changed the setting so that the cylindrical coordinate system will also be available for 2D.
