Topographie Optimization--direction of beads.

snor

I wanted to ask if it's possible to change the direction of the beads. In this example, they're in the negative Z direction. Is there a way to create them in the positive direction, or even in both directions? If so, how does that work?

beads positive direction is related to element normal.

So if your normal is pointing downwards, the beads are created downwards.

You can:

invert normals

or

adjust beads bounds in the DTPG card as max 0.0 and min -1.0 (LB, UB)
