Hello
Is there a way/method in CalculiX to apply tangential displacement boundary conditions to nodes belonging to plane stress/strain elements? *TRANSFORM seems not to support a non-rectangular local coordinate system.
Hello,
i have here an example where i use boundary condition with a global cylindrical system.
I’m not sure, if these is different to your local coordinate system ?

Hello
Thanks @dichtstoff. Your reply was very useful. I figured out that tangential displacement boundary conditions can be applied to nodes belonging to plane stress elements. I confirmed this with a simple test case. My files are here.
The User’s Manual says in 8.124 *TRANSFORM that “a non-rectangular local coordinate system is not allowed in nodes which belong to plane stress, plane strain, or axisymmetric elements.” But apparently, a cylindrical local coordinate system can be applied to a set of nodes belonging to plane stress elements and boundary conditions can be applied to this set with it.
