Modify Global Coordinate Sysetm

      Is it possible to modify Global Coordinate System in Ansys? I imported a model, and axis by default are not the most optimal.


      Create a local coordinate system is not the best option in this case for me, because the material is orthotropic, so I'd like to define my axis according to the material properties, according to my own previous directions definition.


      So, is it possible to modify Global Coordinate System?


      Thanks in advance.

      In Mechanical APDL you cannot move the global coordinate system but you can create a local coordinate system and use the TRANSFER command to move your whole model.

      Hi You cannot delete global cs in apdl/wb.
      Instead you have to create a local cs as per your request (location and type).
