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:
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
