Hello all,

In Abaqus/Explicit 2021, I have created a cylindrical coordinate system for a cylinder for which I applied a rotational displacement (dynamic/explicit). I assign the cylindrical coordinate system in the boundary condition and after I run the problem I attempt to use the coordinate system for results: Result options->Transformation tab->User-specified->ASSEMBLY_T_CYLINDRICAL (which is the cylindrical system I created). However, when I select it and hit apply I get the following message:

"A user-specified coordinate system is active in a model containing elements (beams, surfaces in 2D, masses, etc) for which results transformation will be suppressed" (see attached pic)

I am unable to view the results in the cylindrical system. Is there something I am missing when setting up a cylindrical coordinate system that is not allowing me to view results in the cylindrical coordinate system? Any help on this would as always, be greatly appreciated. 

Kind regards,
