I'm designing a bicycle frame in OptiStruct environment.
In the first step I'm building a bar model. I mainly use PBEAML, as I chiefly have changing cross sections.

The cross sections have been defined in HyperBeam. I used the OptiStruct standard cross sections BOX and TUBE.

Now I want to examine the orientation of my cross sections.
