Hello eveyone,

I have a model like in the second photo with rectangle cross section but when i meshed the model, i received the meshed model like in the picture below. Is this normal? and can i ask where is this problem comes from? And if anyone knows how to resolve this problem.

Thank you so much and have a great day

On the Display tab, click the Thick Shells and Beams button and the Show Mesh button.

You can also click the Cross Section button to show that on the Geometry without showing the mesh.

Hello

The post lost one of my photos. So received a meshed model like this photo. But can you say it's normal? If not, can you show me how i can fix this?

Yes, this is a problem. I made my own set of curves in SpaceClaim, assigned a rectangular beam cross-section and got this mess.

Looking at the documentation, it seems the ability to control beam orientation is superior in DesignModeler.

However, importing the SpaceClaim file into DesignModeler did not make it simple to edit the orientation.

I will have to start over in DesignModeler and import the curves, then create Line Bodies and see if I can succeed.

I have tried both DesignModeler and SpaceClaim but they give the same result. If you succed can you show me the way. Thank you so much
