Hi,
Regarding this following material card, MAT9OR.
How to review or adjust the element orientation of the solid element.
Best,
Jerome.
Hi Jerome, Are you asking about element Normal? In that case for Solid elements, element normal is always outwards. Thanks Rajashri

Rajashri,
Not quite. Refer the picture below, I have rib structure meshed as solid elements as shown.
I am wonder for each element, which was the direction for the E1, E2, and E3 properties as it asked to define in the MAT9OR card.

Jerome,
E1,E2,E3 are elastic modulus in different directions.
As you asked about element orientation, you can review it in hypermesh by orientation review method (CTRL+F, type Normals and from the pop-up window select "Review element orientation").
See the below image.
