Hello,
no, at the moment gid cannot transform results defined using local axes to
global ones, as you mentioned.
With the local axes result’s type you can visualiza the local axes
definition given the three Euler angles, but not a locally defined result.
Perhaps, one way to achieve this is to create a macro which combines the
locally defined results and the given localAxes to get the global ones.
Although it’s a bit complicated, you can also use the already defined macro,
in the macro toolbar, and the window in Windows–create results…, as base
for your macro.
best regards,

Asunto: [GiDlist] Results in local axes
Dear GiD Team,
I have a mesh with some elements with results expressed in terms of
local axes (normal and tangential system). If we want to plot the
results of this kind of element, we need to transform each local
component (normal and tangential, for instance) to global system (x, y
and z). Therefore, if we take into account that this operation is
repeated for each vectorial variable, we realize that extra memory is used.
Example (f_normal; f_tangential) = (f_normal_x , f_normal_y ;
f_tangential_x , f_tangential_y)
I was thus wondering if GiD is able to make such a transformation. For
example, just introducing the local system and local components of my
variables.
Before sending this email I was checking the GiD manual and I found a
result type called localAxes. However I did not understand how it
works and how local axes are introduced. Please let me known if it is
possible to proceed like this.
I thank you in advance for your collaboration.
With best regards,
Daniel Garolera
