Klavoir is on a distinguished road
Hi,

I have several thin plates with holes in it. I want to model them with porous zones. I know the resistance factor from formulas.
The issue is that I cannot allign all plates with a coordinate axis (x, y or z). So for instance if have calculated a resistance of 10 for the plate. If the plate makes an angle of 45 degrees with the x and y axis. Should I use for the axis direction a value of10xcos45 and for y 10xsin45? And for the z direction an infinity value, because this is in the plane of the plate?
Hope you can help me out.
