Hello,
how do i screen the element normals of brick elements/ surface normals of a part to check them for contact definition?
Thank you very much!
Tim
Hi,
element normals of 3D elements always point outward.
Element normals of 2D elements can be reviewed and edited in the Mesh Editing>Part>Sheet>Orientation panel.
In Hypermesh: 2D>composites>element normals
Note that interface type 7 is a non-oriented contact, so a node can impact on both sides of a master segment.
