*GLOBAL NO card

General Questions

Hi,

¿How could I add the *GLOBAL NO card to the Output?

I can’t find it as an option and I don’t know how to add it in the inp editor.

¿Is it possible to display the individual local coordinate system to check element orientations?

Regards

Local coordinates are not yet supported in PrePoMax so you have to make manual keyword edits to use them. In this case, you could delete the default element field output request from the model tree and add the following lines in the keyword editor:

*EL FILE, GLOBAL=NO
S, E

Keyword edits are also needed for defining local coordinates (*ORIENTATION and *TRANSFORM).
