Field vector orientation

Hello,

I have an issue with the orietation of my EDEM field. 

Please look at the images below, when Iorient my geometry to match the field plot in analyst the fluid flow is from one side of the geometry.
But when I orient my field in analyst to be orthogonal to the geometry then the wind flows as expected.

Please explain how I can post process my results.

Thanks,

Kiran

    Hi Kiran

    The field orientation cannot be changed within EDEM. It will show the way it is generated. You can change the orientation of your geometry according to the field if you'd like, or maybe change the orientation in the CFD tool where you generated the field, and generate a new field with correct orientation.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
