Orient Bar2 Elements
Use the Stiffener Mesh: Orient tool to define bar2 orientation vectors or orientation nodes.
There are two kinds of orientation vectors: Global and Basic. Global is used for displacement systems (or analysis). Basic is the HyperMesh global system (where system ID = 0).
You can define orientation by picking a third node or providing a vector. If choosing
By Vector, you will have multiple options to set the orientation.
Tip: Use the legend in the top-left of the modeling window to plot the axes of the elemental systems that
result from the current orientation.
