How to renumber nodes for infinite elements? - abaqus interface
Altair EmployeeThe purpose is to define specific infinite directions for elements using Abaqus as a solver. From the Abaqus manual, the infinite elements should have an origin pole and the first-second nodes pointing indicates the infinite direction. If I would like to achieve infinite directions as follows, how should I modify the node numbers in Hypermesh?
This is a 2D model and I am going to use CINPE4(4-nodes 2D elements).
I referred to this method too but I am confused by what should be the order of numbering.

Altair EmployeeLook like you are saying about orientation
Try enter pull-down menu Tools>Orientation Review
change to tab 'Orientation', select elems,
change 'function' to 'Align N1-N2 dir'
then select an appropriate method to do
Thanks! That's exactly what I want.
So according to the definition of Plan strain infinite elements, I should turn the orientation of Y to the supposed infinite direction?
Besides, is there any advice for better aligning the direction when creating the mesh?
I am not sure, I think it depends on your study
