Define B.C. for rotating part in inclined axis

Question

I want to apply rotation between a toothed part aligned in y axis and another one which is inclined in XY pland (see figure).

Thus, rotation to one of them in an axis aligned to the reference axis and torque in the other component (whose rotation axis is not aligned with the reference axis).

How can I do this? Is there a way to define another coordinate system and define the boundary condition in that auxiliary coordinate system?

I hope I explained myself properly and you can help me.

Thank you very much.

Yes, you can define new coordinate systems - see Vol A and Vol C of Marc documentation. Then you will need to associate the nodes with that new coordinate system. If the new coordinate system orientation is constant, I think you can just use the "transformation" option and provide the rotations for the new system, as opposed to create a new one.
