Hello all,
I have an orphan mesh of an advanced woven composite material--I am trying to figure out the best way to apply the orthotropic material properties to the undulating tows. Ideally, I would like to sketch a spline in which to base the normal/tangential component of the local material...
Here is an isometric view to help clarify things.
Thanks,

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a project in which I am trying to model a composite material. The problem I am having is defining a local coordinate system to capture the material orientation of the tows. I would like to create a local coordinate system that follows a curved path...
