Commands Objects

Any coordinate system defined in the Mechanical application and sent to the Mechanical APDL application as part of the finite element model, will be added to the Mechanical APDL application input file as LOCAL commands. For example:

/com,*********** Send User Defined Coordinate System(s) ***********
local,11,0,0.,0.,0.,0.,0.,0.
local,12,1,11.8491750582796,3.03826387968126,-1.5,0.,0.,0.
