Local Axis System

A (node) axis system can be applied in every node.

Local axis system Roller support

Example of a roller support at an angle.

The origin lies in the node concerned. The direction of the X-axis is determined by entering an angle (see the figure above). Local axis systems can be used to enter node restraints (supports or 'restrains'), but also node loads and/or node displacements in an arbitrary direction.
