Hello,

is it possible to reorient the connectivity of a 2D element or to see the 2D element coordinate system?

Thanks in advance.

    Jacobo,

    Perhaps these below are the scripts you are looking for, read the description in the images below as well to check local x axis

    You need to download the script and then run this script from the downloaded location by going to file > run tcl tk from within HyperMesh.
    see http://www.altairuniversity.com/support-forum/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=87

    you will find this and other scripts in the altair script exchange, go to learning > script exchange from the altair university website or here http://www.altairhyperworks.com/Script-Exchange.aspx?%3ftop_nav_str=1
    you will need to log in with your university mail id and login credentials you get after registering to the client centre.

    search for the script by just entering orient in the keyword section.
    once you have found the script click on the download button, once you have downloaded the script place it in a convenient location, then you need to do a file > run tcl tk from within HyperMesh. make sure you have a relevant model loaded in HyperMesh when you run the script.
