composite orientation mesh with hypermesh and nastran
Altair EmployeeHi, i'm trying to mesh some CFRP ribs of an UAV wing (see figure). My last (and best) result is in the picture. Now i'm wondering how i can set hypermesh to use the principal reference system as reference for the ply orientation (i need some plys a 0° wrt to the x axis of my reference system and some other plys a 90°). In other words, i'm quite sure that with nastran u can specify that i need some fibers align with my x axis (of the global reference system) and some other fibers othogonal. I don't want to use the grid points reference system that nastran assumes by default (since the orientation of the elements is very random - but it's the best i can do given that geometry).
