co-ordinate systems

May 29, 2001, 10:03

I'm new to Star-CD and I have a problem. I wish to create a cylindrical co-ordinate system with rotation about the x-axis (instead of the z-axis) for the purpose of extruding cells about that axis. Is this possible? And if so, how is it done? So far, I have tried unsuccessfully in doing so.

Help for this newcomer would be greatly appreciated.

Create the following local coordinate system.

LOCAL,35,CYLI,0,0,0,0,0,90

The Z-axis of Csys 35 will be aligned with the global X-axis.

Thank you for your help, Chinor.
