Thanks for the video. Any suggestions on how to define local coordinate system (LCS) for shell elements meshed on hemi-spherical surface. All the elements throughout the hemispherical surface should have one reference orientation ?
Considering it is a cylindrical coordinate system, in order to constraint the circumferential (or tangential) direction, does it make sense to also apply a constraint in ROT Z (assuming Z in axial direction)? I know it is covered mainly by the Uy constraint, but I got confused about the ROT constraints using the cylindrical coordinate system.
I have a question, It only constraint in radially inward movement but if I want to constrain only radially outward movement then what should I do? like constraining from opposite direction?
It actually contraints it both radially inward and outward. So those nodes can only move circumferentially or along the axis of the cylinder. But they cannot move radially.

@@isaacsmythe6708 im only getting cylindrical in the new guy
how to get radial?
@@kyonesdelle1427 x in cylindrical represents radius, y represents the angle and z represents the height.
