Reverse Element Problem

Reverse Element Problem

Reverse Element Problem

(OP)
Hi everyone
            Sorry for bother you let me tell you that I working in a composite model using Patran and my model have perpendicular surfaces

So when I tried to put all normals vectors to same direction patran tell me

Testing for Reverse normals is indetermined a at shell branch. Do you want to proceed under the assumption that the elements meetings at a branch junction are not conected to each other

My question is how should I solve this? how can I put all normals vectors at the same direction ?

Thank you so much at all

I hope to keep in touch with you

Cheers

Julian

 

RE: Reverse Element Problem

You should divide elements with normal perpendiculars in different groups. Then check for normals vectors each group separately.
