I am not able to locate a menu or option for choosing cylindrical or spherical coordinate system in ANSYS WorkBench 8.1
for reviewing results. How can I use a user defined coordinate system?


In order to get results in a non-global Cartesian coordinate system, follow the steps below:

1. Highlight Model and right click Insert > Coordinate Systems (this will create a branch labeled Global Coordinate System)
2. With Coordinate systems highlighted, right click Insert > Coordinate System.
3. Use the Details panel and graphic area to locate and orient the new system including its type (Cartesian or cylindrical).
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 if multiple coordinate systems are desired.
5. Prior to Solving, whenever you insert a Solution item, the Details window for each solution item shows coordinate System
under the Definition section and you can select the desired coordinate system.
