Modifying the direction of an already existing CBUSH.

Hi,

I'm struggling with a seemingly basic issue in hypermesh. I'd like to know if there's a way to reverse the direction of a cbush element? That is, interchanging node A <-> node B of the cbush.

Actually, the same question applies for any king of 1D element ...

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

From GUI it is not possible but you can edit the solver deck file in any text editor and interchange the node IDs

I suddenly found how to reverse normal of 1D

Just enter panel 1D>spotweld>switch node

Pick elems and 'switch'

An interesting function hidden in an uninterested panel ! /emoticons/default_rolleyes.gif' title=':rolleyes:' />

Hi, Is there a similar option available in 2023.1? I tried the align tool but that doesn't switch the nodes. The Spotweld panel is no longer available.
