Part 5: Create a cylindrical coordinate system for the pressure vessel FEM

Step 15: Create a Cylindrical Coordinate System
•In the Simulation Navigator, right-click on the CSYS node and select New CSYS…
•In the CSYS menu that appears set the drop-down at the top to X-axis, Y-axis, Origin
•In the Origin Point section of the menu click the Point Dialog button
•In the X-axis section of the menu select YC from the drop-down menu
•In the Y-axis section of the menu select ZC from the drop-down menu
•Ensure that Output CSYS is set to Cylindrical
