General Remarks about Coordinate Systems

This section contains remarks about coordinate systems.

  1. When coordinate systems are loaded through the FE interface, their numbers are treated as names (character strings) in SIMULIA Tosca Structure. For example, the coordinate system 15 (number) in the FE system is defined in SIMULIA Tosca Structure as a coordinate system with the name “15”.
  2. In SIMULIA Tosca Structure, the following coordinate system is defined globally and can be addressed at any time: CS_0: Global Cartesian coordinate system
  3. When defining more than one such coordinate system, their names should be modified so that they are unique.
