How to setup a local coordinate system

      Hello everyone,

      I am doing anlysis to some C channel made of comopsite layers, I need to identify local coordinate systems for each side of the channel.

      I defined the shown local coordinate system as shown in Fig 1.

      the setup of this plane is defined as shown in Fig 2, 3

      when I tried to identify this local coordinate systems in the Model block, the defined planes didn't appear as shown in Fig 4 (it gave me only the default coordinate system)

      how can I show the predefined coordinate systems in the Model block ?

      Regards

      Hi

      There is a setting in Design Modeler (DM) which you do not show in your DM image (Details of plane 19). It is called “Export Coordinate System ?”

      Set that DM setting to Yes.

      All the best

      Erik
