These fibers can change their primary orientation in each element. Therefore, I am trying to give each element their own local coordinate system in Mechanical APDL. I have found that I can use the CS command to assign a local coord. system through the element nodes. However, I have also found that just one of these coord systems can be used during the simulation. Is it also possible to assign a coord system to each element, and that during the simulation the (e.g.) stresses are calculated for each element in their own coordinate system?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Regards,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-165642","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-mechanical","topic-tag-apdl","topic-tag-mechanical-apdl","topic-tag-mesh"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["4940"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["122799"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["165642"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["6","183162"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["203098"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["203098"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-01-18 22:37:29"]},"test":"lcp"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/165642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/165642\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
