HEXA Elements Coordinate System Alignment

Hello all,

I am modelling a honeycomb structure plate . It is modeled with hexa elements at center and the faces of hexa have quad elements on both the sides i.e upper surface and lower surface. I need to align hexa element coordinate system to a consistent direction for all hexa elements . Is there any option in hypermesh . If not, can it be done using TCL APIs.

Thanks

Girish

Hi Tinh ,

I was exploring through the options in Tools-> Orientation Review Tool . Is there any way I can Find the APIs for these commands. I couldn't find any API commands associated with this option in help file.

Thanks
