This would make Femap profiles (called properties) easier to replicate as the standard Ansys profile coordinate system (right image) is different to the Femap coordinate system (left image). Or is there maybe an easier way to correctly import a Femap profile into Ansys? I have the specs of the profiles from Femap in the form below.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/03-03-2026-1772528770-mceclip0.png\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/03-03-2026-1772528791-mceclip1.png\" width=\"273\" height=\"245\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/03-03-2026-1772528973-mceclip2.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks!&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-453627","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-beam-profile","topic-tag-coordinate-system","topic-tag-coordinate-systems-2","topic-tag-element-orientation-1","topic-tag-global-coordinate-system-1","topic-tag-orientation-direction","topic-tag-profile","topic-tag-profiles"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_topic_id":["453627"],"_bbp_subscription":["650107","50911"],"_bbp_author_ip":["217.23.149.35"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["454596"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["454596"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2026-03-16 13:01:53"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["650107","50911"],"_btv_view_count":["260"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"]},"test":"tvbnallseas-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/453627","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\/453627\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
