    To calculate radial and tangential stresses in a disc model, a cylindrical coordinate system must be assigned by first defining the center of the disc using the distance panel to select three nodes at the inner hole and activate "circle center". This is repeated for the lower edge of the hole to define the z-orientation, and the newly created cylindrical coordinate system is then assigned to all nodes by selecting them, the local coordinate system, and activating "set displacement".

    Define center of disc and cylindrical coordinate system

    A cylindrical coordinate system needs to be assigned to the model in order to calculate the radial and
    tangential stresses (Sxx and Syy).
    The center of the disc may be determined by making use of the distance panel (note: three nodes is
    active)

    Just select three nodes at the inner hole and activate “circle center”.

    Repeat this last step for the lower edge of the hole

    3
    The two temporary nodes will be used to define the z-orientation of the cylindrical coordinate system
    as shown next.

    4
    This newly created cylindrical coordinate system must be assigned to all nodes of the model. Select
    all nodes, select graphically the local coordinate system (you need to click on it) and activate “set
    displacement”.
