    Below is an example of creating a cylindrical coordinate system:

        # create coordinate system:
    CS = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.CoordinateSystems.AddCoordinateSystem() 
    # modify CS name
    CS.Name="New CS"
    # change CS type
    CS.CoordinateSystemType=CoordinateSystemTypeEnum.Cylindrical
