Morning,
I am modeling a 2 spans bridge and would like to know if my geomtransf are correct:
geomTransf PDelta 1 0 0 -1 for a circular column
geomTransf Linear 2 1 0 0 for beam cap
geomTransf Linear 3 0 0 1 for girder box
My bent cap is in the global YZ plane
Global X coincides with the longitudinal direction of the bridge(from left to right) and it is also the direction of the girder box
Global Y is opposite to gravity direction (direction of the columns)
and global Z is the transverse direction (pointing out of the screen) of the bridge same as my beam cap direction.
An advise on the technical you use to determine the vecXZ beside the one in the user doc will be helpful.

Yes, this is correct. You understood it completely.
