Transform results in a model coordinate system displayed in the graphics window

Before you can graphically select a model coordinate system, you must ensure that the coordinate system is visible and selectable in post-processing.

1. If necessary, in the Simulation Navigator, in the Simulation File View panel, right-click the part file containing the coordinate system you want to use, and choose Make Displayed Part. Typically, this is the Simulation file, but may be the FEM file, idealized part, or master part as well. Ensure that model coordinate systems are visible and selectable.

2. In the Post Processing Navigator, load the results and create a post view.

3. Ensure that model coordinate systems are visible and selectable using one of the following methods:Choose Results tab→Layout group→Side by Side or Top and Bottom to create a multiple viewport layout. The model file is displayed in the second viewport.Choose Format→Layer Visible in View. Click OK. In the Layer Visible in View dialog box, select the layer containing model coordinate systems and click Visible. This method is most effective when coordinate systems in the model are on a separate layer.

4. Choose a command that supports coordinate system selection:Choose Results tab→Post View group→Set Result .In the Post View dialog box, click the Display tab, and from the Display on list, choose Cutting Plane. Click Options.In the Post Processing Navigator, right-click a Post View node and choose Free Body Results.

5. Complete the dialog box as necessary to define parameters for your display.

6. From the Coordinate System list, choose Selected Rectangular, Selected Cylindrical, or Selected Spherical.

7. In the graphics window, click a coordinate system to select it.Note: You can select only coordinate systems of the same type that you specified. For example, if you choose Selected Cylindrical, you can select only cylindrical coordinate systems.

8. Click Apply to transform results into the selected coordinate system. The Result dialog box remains open so you can continue to adjust the display. Click OK to update the post view and exit the dialog box.
