To transform superelements it is shown in testuse.mac. I believe you have switched the main coordinate system csys,0 to the local coordinate system where you wish to tranform the superelement. Don´t do this. Before the setran-command there must be the csys,0 command. I hope this will help :-).
Perhaps you can help me too. The example-files create a bar it is made of solid45 and beam4. The model is compressed to a superelement. The bar is turned around to simulate a rigid body motion, but the results I get, I can not believe. Where do I go wrong? Is it possible to simulate a rigid body motion by this way?
