This tool is used to assign local coordinate system to nodes to define their position or displacement behavior.
Description
- Geometric option is used to define the coordinates of the node with respect to a local coordinate system.
- Analysis option is used to define the displacement/degrees-of-freedom of nodes with respect to a local coordinate system.
