There is an explanation on this from the docs on tabular input. You can alter your actionCreate to include this.

First, you will need to create an array of models first to be populated:

$count = count(Yii::$app->request->post('CoordinateDetails', []));
$coordinateDetails = [new CoordinateDetail()];
for ($i = 1; $i < $count; $i++) {
    $coordinateDetails[] = new CoordinateDetail();
}

You can then use loadMultiple and validateMultiple to populate and validate your models. You will however have to loop through your models in order to save them:

if (CoordinateDetail::loadMultiple($coordinateDetails, Yii::$app->request->post()) 
    && CoordinateDetail::validateMultiple($coordinateDetails)) {
    foreach ($coordinateDetails as $coordinateDetail) {
        //do any other thing here e.g. setting foreign keys
        $coordinateDetail->save(false);
    }
    return $this->redirect('index');
}
else {
    // do something for the error
}

I think you should use batchInsert Method:

        \Yii::$app->db->createCommand()->batchInsert('yourtable', ['lat_degree','lat_min','lat_second',...],$CoordinatesDetail )
        ->bindValue(':id', 1)
        ->execute();

It is widget to yii2 framework to clone form elements in a nested manner, maintaining accessibility.
