Reference point from local coordinates

General Questions

Hello, I recently discovered PrepoMax and started to use it. I am impressed!.

Having created my first static analysis I i’m now trying something with an eccentric load to derive the torsion of a section. To position the eccentric load I need to use the Rigid body constraint, set by a reference point. My problem is that I can’t place the reference point because the global coordinates are outside of the model. I can’t place the reference point by the other options like ‘On Point’ etc. Is there a way to set the reference point using Local Coordinates. I don’t see a way to use local with reference point.

You can’t use local coordinate system for that, but you can choose the “Coordinates” mode and enter the 3 (global) coordinates manually in the input fields below.
