I need one help regarding Abaqus. Is there any way in Abaqus where we can rotate a defined coordinate system with respect to another defined axis (not X, Y, Z axis of the coordinate system but another line)?

New robot concept uses responsive materials to swim through water
When we think of robots, we normally think of motors and batteries and electronics, but engineers at Caltech and ETH Zurich have created a swimming robot that's powered by material deformation. That means it's made using materials that change shape in response to temperature swings, and that deformation pushes the device through water.
