Local Coordinate System

With Apex Generative Design Local Coordinate Systems can be created. This can be very helpful for applying loads which aren’t aligned in the direction of an axes of the global coordinate system. Local Coordinate systems can be attached to surfaces, edges and points. Furthermore, the orientation of the Local Coordinate System can be influenced by adding angles to rotate it.
