Can I edit the coordinates of an Orthotropic material?

Question:

Can I edit the coordinates of an Orthotropic material?

Applies to:

  • Design analysis, materials, topology optimization

Answer:

Yes, the coordinates for Orthotropic materials can be edited. 

When you add a Solid FE Attribute to your FE Model, it gives you the option to add a Frame. Adding a Frame to this block sets the coordinates for the material. If no Frame is set, then the material will have global coordinates.
