Menu: Data->Local axes
With this option, GiD lets you define new coordinate reference systems. They can be writen not only using cartesian reference systems, but also with reference to Euler angles. All user-defined systems are automatically calculated and can be visualized one by one or all together.
There are several ways to define new local axes:
...
When defining local axes, the definition mode is done through three points 3PointsXZ.
Local axes can be used later when creating a point (see Point) or in some conditions that have a field related to these axes (see Conditions).
