My results do not appear to be correct for my ANSYS 9.0 PLANE182 model in
which I have local cylindrical coordinate systems defined. Is this a known bug?


Yes, Defect 31168 was filed in corrected in the production version of ANSYS 10.0.
This is a Class 3 Error, which is described below. A final Class 3 Error number has
not yet been assigned to this error. In addition to the workaround of using multiple
Cartesian coordinate systems, you can use a cylindrical coordinate system if alternate
elements are used, such as PLANE42.

Description of Error:
Results are incorrect for PLANE182, PLANE183, SOLID185, SOLID186, and SOLID187 when
the local element coordinate system (ESYS) is set up by a cylindrical coordinate system and
NLGEOM,ON is used and there is a significant change in geometry.

First Incorrect Version:
Release 8.0

Corrected In:
Release 10.0

Suggested User Action For Running on Uncorrected Version:
Create the local coordinate system (ESYS) using a Cartesian coordinate system.
