Displaying Torsional Buckling in RFEM and RSTAB: Selecting Reference Axes

How can I display the internal forces in the global coordinate system and not in the principal coordinate system of the cross-section?

Answer:

RFEM and RSTAB have two axes for asymmetric, open, and ordinary cross-sections. After the calculation, the results for the principal axes are displayed. However, you can specify any principal coordinate system for displaying the vectors. Just select one of both options "Principal Axes" or "Member Axes" in Project Navigator –Results.
