Orientation for anisotropic materials

Coreform Cubit
#1

Hi!
Just a small question: does Cubit offer tools to set the material orientations (local coordinate system) for anisotropic materials such as FRP composites?
If so: which is the function to look for?
Thanks!

Hi @JorenPelfrene,

I looked into this, and I think the general answer is no. There is a capability to create exodus coordinate frames, 7.2 Exodus (coreform.com). But it doesn’t appear that these can be directly connected to element blocks inside of Cubit.

The typical use case is that the analyst references the coordinate frames in the analysis deck setup.

Thanks,
Karl
