CS, KCN, KCS, NORIG, NXAX, NXYPL, PAR1, PAR2
Defines a local coordinate system by three node locations.
KCNArbitrary reference number assigned to this coordinate system. Must be greater than 10. A coordinate system previously defined with this number will be redefined.
KCSCoordinate system type:
0 or CART | — | Cartesian |
1 or CYLIN | — | Cylindrical (circular or elliptical) |
2 or SPHE | — | Spherical (or spheroidal) |
3 or TORO | — | Toroidal |
NORIGNode defining the origin of this coordinate system. If NORIG =
P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored
(valid only in the GUI).
NXAXNode defining the positive x-axis orientation of this coordinate system.
NXYPLNode defining the x-y plane (with NORIG and NXAX)
in the first or second quadrant of this coordinate system.
PAR1Used for elliptical, spheroidal, or toroidal systems. If KCS =
1 or 2, PAR1 is the ratio of the ellipse Y-axis
radius to X-axis radius (defaults to 1.0 (circle)). If KCS
= 3, PAR1 is the major radius of the torus.
PAR2Used for spheroidal systems. If KCS =
2, PAR2 = ratio of ellipse Z-axis radius to X-axis
radius (defaults to 1.0 (circle)).
Defines and activates a local right-handed coordinate system by specifying three existing nodes: to locate the origin, to locate the positive x-axis, and to define the positive x-y plane. This local system becomes the active coordinate system. See the CLOCAL, CSKP, CSWPLA, and LOCAL commands for alternate definitions. Local coordinate systems may be displayed with the /PSYMB command.
This command is valid in any processor.
