Hi All,

 

I have a query,

 

Is there any method to find out the normal direction in the 1D elements.

 

In Hypermesh, if I am connecting the nodes from top to bottom and vice versa, the respective normal directions varies as shown in abaqus image.

 

I want all normal to be in one direction,Whether any scripts are available to change the direction of normal.

 

Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply Tinh. Its working..

     

    Is there any method to see the direction of normal in Hypermesh itself.

     

    Now I am using abaqus to see the normal of 1D elements.

     

    Thank you.

    On Vizualization toolbar, change to 1D detail representation

    You will see systems (and know normals)
