the distances between two points

Akane Ito

I want to obtain the distances between two points in the XYZ coordinates with reference to any coordinate system.

@Akane Ito this is an extremely broad question and does not reference some key information like:

• what Ansys tool or tech you are using
• what programming language?
• any sort of reference that would tell someone how to answer the question

I would recommend starting with more clarity, your code (if any), and the application of some tags to your post as a starting point.

@Chris Harrold
・what Ansys tool or tech you are using→ANSYS Mechanical
・what programming language?→AnsysACT
・any sort of reference that would tell someone how to answer the question
　→I want to obtain distances with reference to a custom coordinate system I created.
　　I would like to execute this process through a script as shown in the diagram below.
　　
Sorry,I'll make sure to add tags from next time.

@AKD-Scripting-Team might have some ideas for you on this one then.
