Mapped System
Use a Mapped System () to create a coordinate system that defines a mapping from the frame coordinate system.
A mapped system can deal with translated and rotated coordinate systems:
If this coordinate system is added as a subnode to a Combined System node, define where it will be active using a selection in the Geometric Entity Selection section. Also, the Name and Coordinate names fields and the Frame list are not available in this case.
Settings
The Frame list is the same as for the Cylindrical System.
Coordinate names
In the Coordinate names table, the default names are entered — x1, x2, and x3. In planar 2D models, x1 and x2 are typically the in-plane coordinates, and x3 is the out-of-plane coordinate.
Coordinate mapping
Under Coordinate mapping, the Coordinate column displays the Coordinate names with the Expression column displaying the associated mapped coordinate.
Simplifications
If required, select the Assume orthonormal check box. The program then uses the assumption that the settings define an orthonormal coordinate system.
