Define Orthotropic Material
Define Orthotropic Material
(OP)
Dear Experts
I would like to define an orthotropic material, which follows deformation in the axes shown below.

To be more clear, I would like the model to contract in X/-X-direction ,Y/-Y-direction, and not in the Z-direction. How can I do that?

RE: Define Orthotropic Material
Thanks for the reply.
I'm working in advanced simualation and the tool you suggested works only in modelling. Do you have any other ideas?
