The coordinate frame defines how the three spatial axes (1, 2 and 3) will be determined. There are three types:

 

Rectangular - where axes 1, 2 and 3 correspond to X, Y and Z.

 

Cylindrical - where axes 1, 2 and 3 correspond to the radial-coordinate, theta-coordinate and Z.

 

Spherical - where axes 1, 2 and 3 correspond to the radial-coordinate, theta-coordinate and phi-coordinate.

 

The default global rectangular coordinate frame is Coord 0.
