Hi all,
I'd like to model composite cylinder under pressure with CAX elements. How to orient material (directions of Er, Eq, Ez)? Thanks in edvance.

Check the documentation chapter "Orientations" (paragraph "Use with Two-Dimensional Solid Elements"). It's done like for other element types - using the *ORIENTATION keyword.

Hi FEA way,
Thank you for the response. Sorry for confusion but my actual question was how to transform stiffness matrix for generalized plane strain elements (CAX). It could be done with Reuter's matrix.
Regards.
