[ANSYS Meshing] Changing orientation of CutCell-Mesher

Adam S · May 15, 2011, 08:32

Hi folks,

does anyone know how to change the orientation of the CutCell-Mesher from the global cartesian system to a new generated local one??

I tried to assign the parts to the new local, but the mesher is still using the global.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe you can spin your model in your preferred 3d-cad-software or with DesignModeler.

Of course this is only possible if you don't need the original cordinate sysrem for orientation or sth. like that (e.g. axis of rotation). If that's the case: Maybe you can define the original coordinate system after the meshing process as a new local coordinate system.
