Response function coordinate systems

When you generate elemental, peak, LCR, RMS, or CSD response functions, the coordinate system you select in which to display the results may conflict with the coordinate system the modal model uses. In the event that the coordinate systems are different, the results appear as shown in the following table.

Note:

Shell stress resultants use the same coordinate system as the modes.

Element type	CSYS modes are stored in	CSYS selected for response function	CSYS used for response function
3D	Nastran Basic (global/absolute CSYS)	Element	Global/Absolute
Material	Global/Absolute
Material	Element	Global/Absolute
Material	Material
2D or 1D	Element	Element	Element
Material	Element
Material	Element	Element
