13.12 Transforming results into a cylindrical or spherical coordinate system

Product: Abaqus/CAE  

Benefits: A new algorithm for computing components of coordinate- and distance-based results relative to cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems expands the options available for evaluating results.

Description: You can choose to apply an angular transformation to coordinate- and distance-based results. The new angular transformation option type computes components in terms of R, , and Z for cylindrical coordinate systems and in terms of R, , and for spherical coordinate systems; the default transformation orients a system for transformation relative to a cylindrical or spherical system but performs a Cartesian transformation of the X-, Y-, and Z-components. Angular transformation component results are denoted using (AT: CSYS-name) in the viewport to differentiate them from the results obtained using the default transformation type.
