Im student. my hypermesh version is 2025. I am going to assign orthotropic materials to my components using mat8. But I don't know how to specify the direction of the fibers for the material of my shell.I only established local coordinate systems corresponding to two components and carried out the content shown in the pictures. Im not sure what the complete process of the assignment materials is. Could you give an example or tell me how to do it?
