How can we get the normal vector of the surfaces obtained after mid surface extraction?

tanushi

I am only able to plot the normal vector but not able to retrieve it as a vector.

Hello @tanushi ,

if you CAD is sytill associated to your FE mesh, you can run hm_getsurfacenormal or

hm_getsurfacenormalatcoordinate

If you have only orphan mesh, you can query normalx, normaly and normalz attributes for elements, through hm_getvalue api

Hope that helps,

Best Regards,

Michael
