Christian,
The spatial databases only support global coordinate systems, so local
coordinate systems like distance along strike and distance down dip are
not available. The main reason for not supporting local coordinate
systems is they depend on the geometry and discretization of the
finite-element model. One of the main features of the spatial databases
is that they are independent of the discretization and geometry of the
model. That is, you can change the finite-element model and the same
spatial database will give the same spatial variation in values.
Regards,
Brad
