Hello,

I am interested in changing the position of the coordinate system used by Fluent. The reason is that I am using a UDF where I define the velocity profile in the inlet using an equation.

In the Scale screen I have:

y_max=0
y_min=-4e-7

And i would need to move the coordinate system in order to have:
y_max=4e-7
y_min=0

How could I do this?

For solving the problem I have modified the equation changing the "y" variable to "y+4e-7" but I would prefer to move the coordinate system.

I will appreciate your help!

It's not on the onscreen GUI. Go up to the menu
File|Mesh|Define|Solve|etc

and you'll find it under mesh
You can translate and rotate the mesh to fit your coordinate system.

Or you can enter
mesh/translate and/or mesh/rotate into the TUI
