Hi all,

I created a 3D tire model and 2 plans as the roads in input file.
One of the 2 plans is in contact with the bottme of the tire, another one contacts with the top of the tire ( just like a burger, the tire would be the steak and the 2 planes would be the bread).
However, I found that the normal of the top plane is in a wrong direction which is away from the tire and it is supposed to be towards the tire.
Could anyone please tell me how to change the direction of the normal of the plane in input file?

Thank you very much.

Best Regards,
JC
