Origin defined differently in Onshape and Simscale

Using SimScale
1

I noticed the origin is defined a bit differently between Onshape and Simscale. In Onshape, the origin is defined at the intersection of the (Left, Front, Bottom) planes and in Simscale the origin is defined at the intersection of the (Right, Front, Bottom) planes. This could potentially make things a bit confusing when importing a geometry from Onshape to Simscale. Is there any way to change the default axis/origin point or names of the planes in Simscale to match Onshape? Thanks.

No, but I wish there were… :sob:

I would use the aerodynamics convention of Bottom = looking to origin along the -Z-axis, Front = looking to origin along the -X axis and Left = looking at origin along the -Y axis…
