Creating Local Coordinate System in Mechanical – Lesson 10

What is the APDL Name option when creating a local coordinate system in Mechanical software?

When using the command snippet in Mechanical software, the APDL Name option under local coordinate system creation allows you to create an APDL parameter (in the input file). It is text-based input, and with that you can assign its value to the reference number of the coordinate system. For example, if your automatic coordinate ID is 15 and you have given the APDL Name as "My_CS", it will create parameter “My_CS=15” in the input file. This facilitates easy programmatic identification of the coordinate system for later use or reference in a command object.
