Hello,

I wanted to have the same 3D element connectivity for different element sets. But unfortunately one element set in my model has different element connectivity. I tried to modify it in MSc.Patran:

Action: Modify
Method: Rotate Edges
Pivot: 1st Node
Direction: clockwise / counter clockwise

But the element set does not have the same 3D connectivity like the other element sets even after several trials rotating clockwise or counter clockwise.

Thank you in advance for your replies,
Nagananda

Isnt there a utility menu function that allows you to change connectivity??
 
Hi,

Yes, there is this utility. But even after using it I couldn´t get the same connectivity for all the elements.
