By default, when you specify the result resolved values as X Component, Y Component, or Z Component, the ground coordinate system defines the component directions. You can select a component in the assembly to define an alternate coordinate system.
To select an alternate coordinate system for a result plot of values in a component direction:
- From a Motion Analysis study, click Results and Plots
(MotionManager toolbar).
- Select a category and subcategory for the result.
For example, to define a result from the displacement of a part, select the Displacement/Velocity/Acceleration category and the Center of Mass Position subcategory.
- For Select result component, select the result resolved value direction:
- X Component for resolved values in the X direction.
- Y Component for resolved values in the Y direction.
- Z Component for resolved values in the Z direction.
For example, selecting X Component with the Displacement/Velocity/Acceleration category and the Center of Mass Position subcategory defines the result from the X component of displacement.
- Select the result features
required for the result category and subcategory.For example, you can select a part face to define result from the X component of the displacement of the part.
- Select the part
that defines the alternate coordinate system.The coordinate system of the selected part appears.
Select this part only to select coordinates other than ground.
- Select the Plot Results options you require, and click
. The result appears in the MotionManager tree.
