Helllo,

 

What's the relation between the orientation vector of CBAR and BeamSection? I don't know how to choose the vector when I use the linemesh.

 

Thanks for help.

    It's the y-axis of bar section (actually y-axis is achieved by rotate the orient vector to perpendicular to x-axis, x-axis is N1-N2 of bar)

    you can search keyword CBAR in reference help for details
