      If user is using Autodyn 3D multi-material Euler solver or Ideal gas Euler solver, the Euler mesh has to be rectilinear so you cannot define the flow-in boundary condition through the normal of a cylindrical surface. If you have to use this type of boundary condition, you need to edit Autodyn user subroutine EXFLOW to enter different flow-in velocity components at each Euler element and make sure the flow-in direction is always normal to the given cylindrical surface.
