Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Calculation notes on fix point loads
English term or phrase: Local vs. Global geometry
I have a report on calculation of fix point loads on roof panel of steel structure. The author uses these two terms "Local geometry" and "Global geometry" when describing the roof structure as a whole and its segment respectively. E.g.

[_paragraph title_] Local geometry and segments
The curve of the roof is divided in different segments. Each segment has a starting point with the coordinates I(Xi/Yi) and an end point J=I+1 with the coordinates J(Xj/Yj).

Then a table titled "Local geometry in the segments" basically lists coordinates of points and lengths, which I believe is referred to as "Local geometry" (in this case, because it's a segment of roof).

Basically, I'm not 100% sure if I can use the word "Геометрия". If yes/no then why, and what other equivalent could that be? I appreciate your advice.

(text written by a German speaker).

Thank you.

agree  Igor Savenkov: или "локальная" вместо "местная" (не принципиально)

agree  Alexander Teplitsky: "Local geometry" - геом. на плоскости (что б не усложнять). "Global geometry" - геом. на цилиндрич. или сферич. поверхности (The curve of the roof...). Часто термины "система координат" = "геометрия".

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Andrei, I already used "геометрические параметры" as I think it best describes the content of tables that are titled "Global / Local geometry" since what they basically list are the angles/lengths of various parts of roof structure. Thanks anyway for your help as always
