Node Local Axis Table

Function

  • You can enter or modify the nodal coordinate systems of arbitrary nodes in a spreadsheet format using the Table Tool.
  • The Table Tool in midas Civil is a powerful tool that includes various functions. For detailed instructions on how to use the Table Tool, please refer to the usage guide of the Table Tool.

 

Call

From the main menu, select [Node/Element] tab > [Node Detail] group > [Nodes Table] > [Node Local Axis]

 

Input

(Refer to "Node Local Axis")

Refer to Usage of Table Tool and enter or modify the following data:

Boundary-tables-boundary tables-Node Local Axis.png

Node : Node number

 

Method : Methods of defining the node's local coordinate systems

 

In case of Angle

Angle - X : Angle of rotation about GCS X-axis

Angle - Y : Angle of rotation about y'-axis rotated about X-axis

Angle - Z : Angle of rotation about z"-axis rotated about X- and y'-axes

 

In case of 3 Points

P0-X, P0-Y, P0-Z : Coordinates of the origin, P0 in each GCS direction

P1-X, P1-Y, P1-Z : Coordinates of an arbitrary node on the node's local x-axis, P1 in each GCS direction

P2-X, P2-Y, P2-Z : Coordinates of a node moved from P1, parallel to the node's local y-axis, P2 in each GCS direction

 

In case of Vector

V1-X : GCS X-component of vector V1

V1-Y : GCS Y-component of vector V1

V1-Z : GCS Z-component of vector V1

V2-X : GCS X-component of vector V2

V2-Y : GCS Y-component of vector V2

V2-Z : GCS Z-component of vector V2
