hi dear,

i have confranted a problem. when i analyse the tailings pipeline erected above the ground i have to change the global coordinates to local coordinates in the restraint summary report, which is used to design foundation of pipe support. it is not conveient to use the restraint forces in the global coordinates system.
your reply will be highly appreciated.

thanks and regards,
lawrence

There is a big section on "Local / Global Coordinates" in Chapter 6 of the Technical Reference guide. Please review this.

You have two options here:
1) Use the "GlobalToLocal" utility you can download from this website, or
2) Rotate your model so that your restraint aligns with the global coordinate system.
