Should I draw polyarea clockwise or counter-clockwise ?
Should I draw polyarea clockwise or counter-clockwise ?
(OP)
Through one of these threads I came to know that the Red and Pink colors of shell elements denote the direction in which local 3 axis is aligned. So when I am creating a slab element which color should come on top surface? And when I am making a Shear Wall model which color should come on outer surface? What is the fundamental principle behind this?

Keep the local 3 axis direction in mind when applying surface pressures, and when outputting stresses.
