Hit OK.
Click Done. The model should turn back to a blue color.
This last step is used to define the orientation of a beam in space. Defining the
beam section orientation is critical when using beam elements because the local 1
and 2 coordinate axes must correspond correctly to the problem that is trying to be
solved.
Creating a MeshTo create a mesh for the model geometry, double click Mesh (Empty)in the
model tree. If this selection is done correctly, then the geometry should change
color to pink.
The first step in creating a mesh is to seed the part. Click the Seed Edgesicon
