To create a CORD2 coordinate system card:

  1. Ensure that at least three nodes are available to create a coordinate system.

  2. Select the systems panel on the 1D page.

or

Select Coordinate Systems from the Setup pull-down menu.

  1. Select the create CORD2 subpanel.

  2. Select the nodes where you would like a coordinate system to be created.

  3. Pick the node that defines the origin.

  4. Pick the node that defines the x direction.

  5. Pick the node that defines the xy plane.

  6. Select the coordinate system type you want to create: rectangular, cylindrical or spherical.

  7. Click create.

  8. Click return.

Note:

HyperMesh automatically assigns a system ID. For cylindrical and spherical systems, the x-axis defines the radial direction (image\theta.gif = 0) and the xy plane defines the r-image\theta.gif plane.
