Hello,<\/p>\n

I am modelling wave propagation in 2D orthotropic shell elements. I am having some issues in figuring out the element direction. I get different element direction when I use (a) ElementTool– Elemen Edit–Direction and (b) ElementTool–Identify–Element–Shell–Element Direction. I have also attcahed a figure showing element direction as given by both options and I am not sure which direction the solver uses. Any help regarding the issue would be highly appreciated. <\/p>\n
