A system of skew coordinates is a curvilinear coordinate system where the coordinate surfaces are not orthogonal, in contrast to orthogonal coordinates. For example, a transformed coordinate system should not be defined at a node that is connected only to a spring1 or spring2 element, since these elements have only one active degree of freedom per node.
