1D Elements - Normal

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.
