Perform automatic checks on CAD models, and identify potential issues with geometry that may slow down the meshing
process using the Verification and Comparison tools.
Many essential utility tools using HyperWorks-Tcl have been developed over the years to support Aerospace customers. A few tools have been collected and upgraded to
be compatible with this release.
Define bar2 orientation vectors or orientation nodes.
Introduction
There are two kinds of orientation vectors: Global and Basic. Global is used for
displacement systems (or analysis). Basic is used as the HyperMesh global system (where system ID = 0).
In the Orient context, a legend allows you to plot the Y and Z axis of elemental
systems that result from the current orientation. You can define orientation by
picking a third node or providing a vector. If choosing "by Vector," you will have
multiple options to sett the orientation.
Access the Orient tool from the Mesh ribbon by clicking Stiffener Mesh > Orient.
