Transformation of Results to Cylindrical Co-ordinate System

Bharadwaj asks...

Is der any way that i can out put stress values in Cylindrical coordiantes instead of rectangular cartesian coordiantes

Answer :
YES! You can.

  1. Create a Cartesian Co-ordinate system in visualisation Mode.
  2. Result->Options->Transformation->UserDefined. There you choose the Co-Ordnate System you just now created.
Please note that only the Components of the Stress Tensor ( like S11, S22, etc.) will be transformed to the new co-ordinate system. The Invariants like Von-Mises etc. cannot be changed as they are scalar quantities.
