Some times aligning the element coordinate system isrequired for MAT1 also. Usefull for post processing. Especially MscExplorer whcih work on ASIS only. Thanks.

After few further trial, i could Align Type = Coordinate system (at the top of the utility); get work. The trick is that, In the inital PSOLID card, CORDM should not refer the global coordinate system. It should refernce any a dummy user defined coordiante syste. Then it works. All these days...

I still can't get Align Type = Coordinate system (at the top of the utility); get work. However, i could get Align Type = Element IKJ; Get work. In some machine, Align Type = Element IKJ, no working at all. It throws an error. In some machine Align Type = Coordinate system just changes the...

Thanks for your continued help. I tired initial model MAT9, still the result is same. Is it working at your machine ?

The initial properties were dummy as below $ Elements and Element Properties for region : psolid.1 PSOLID 1 1 0 I tried using Method 1 (Z normal to surface, X along the vector option). This utility changes the material direction as expected (only in display), though it creates the...

Dear nlgyro, Thanks for reply. I tried Under Utilities---> Properties----> Align solid elements. Option, It correctly DISPLAY (only)the Material coordinate system as I wanted by creating multiple new COORD. But after executing this feature it does not update the PSOLID CORDM field. So when I...

Hi Members, I am planning to analysis a complex 3D geometry with 3D anisotropic material property. As the geometry is complex, it is not possible to take care of node numbering such that desired Element coordinate system is achieved for all elements. So the default element coordinate system...
