Hello,

 

I'm trying to assign a material orientation via a vector through the 2D-composites-material orientation tab for a 3D solid element with the Mat9ort material card.

Hypermesh does not change the element material direction saying the reference vector can not be projected for lowlighted elements.

Is anyone able to help or offer an alternative method?

 

Thanks,

Aidan
