We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

How to plot Frequency response graphs in harmonic analysis in a local coordinate system using Mechanical?

  In Mechanical, Frequency Response graphs are always processed in the GLOBAL coordinate system, even if the nodes are rotated to any local coordinate system.
  In Mechanical APDL /POST26 graphs are always in the Solution coordinate system. Nodal quantities are reported in the NODAL coordinate system. If the nodes are rotated to a local coordinate system then /POST26 graphs are in the local coordinate system.
  At present, it’s not possible to plot the Frequency response graphs on the local coordinate system, but it’s possible to inset a Command snippet and take a snapshot from /POST26 and make it available in Mechanical as a figure. Alternatively, one can read the .rst into MAPDL and process the model in Mechanical APDL using /POST26.
