Hello Caesar's,

I have a 3D Skewed (X,Y,Z Skewed) nozzle Connecting to the shell part of the vertical Equipment . I can find the fx as axial force and mx as Torsinal moment in the local element forces, How i can find the other two forces and moments(circumferential and longitudinal force and moment)?

Download "Global to Local" coordinate rotation program from Coade website.
It will convert global forces and moments to local. You need to input direction cosines of the element associated with node whose forces or moments you need to convert in local.
