As I read the docu on SETRAN, I see DX,DY,DZ only give offsets in the global Cartesian directions - will not rotate in a cylindrical system.
I think to rotate about Z by 30 degrees, I would do this:
LOCAL,11,1,0,0,0,30 ! Create the local rotated with respect to 1 CSYS,1 ! Make CSYS,1 active ! then transfer from active to 11 setran,Flansch_S,11,numnodes,test,sub,,0,0,0,
You may want to work with the node rotation key on the end of SETRAN, depending on how you created the original nodes in the base superelement.
Good Luck, Dave Johnson
