Creation of the card /INISHE/ORTH_LOC

Hi everyone,

 

how it is possible to define the /INISHE/ORTH_LOC card? I can't find the option to define correctly it. I need to initialize the orientation of an orthotropic material (that's defined as a P9 shell property). 

 

Thanks

    Hi,

     

    /STATE/SHELL/ORTHL is a State Engine Keyword which saves the orthotropy direction for shell elements. A block /INISHE/ORTH_LOC or /INISH3/ORTH_LOC or /INISHE/ORTH_LOC or /INISH3/ORTH_LOC is written into each state file, for each part declared into /STATE/DT.
