Align 1D Element

Reorder the N1 to N2 sequence of 1D element nodes.

The Align tool allows you to reorder element nodes using a vector or a system axis.

Figure 1.

1. From the guide bar, click the Elements selector.
2. Select elements to reorder N1 and N2 in ascending order along one or more axis if elements are aligned with vectors in a given angle tolerance. This is useful when the beam section shape if not symmetric.
