Hello,

 

When I mesh a part in hex in hypermesh and import it in Marc Mentat, I need to reorient the elements so that I can use them as rebar elements. Is there a way to reorinet the lements in hypermesh please?

    Some time I need do the same for SAMCEF solver. I have to write myself a TCL script for that. Here's is the workplan:

    • Select your hex elements
    • Loop over selected elements: read all nodes, then create new element with same nodes but with your manner to change face order.
    • Remove old elements

    Good luck!
