Hi, I’m trying yo model a curved frame estructure made of pipes, so I made a 1D mesh on Salome of the pipe path, but is there a way to write the element orientation of the beam elements with CGX?

Stright beam (ok to do it manually)

Hello,
Access to google drive file is not open for all.
Ok, try now
I try Mesh_3.inp and do next:
*element, elset=BYX,type=B32R
14, 5, 64, 30,
*BEAM SECTION,MATERIAL=STEEL,ELSET=BYX,OFFSET1=-0.5,SECTION=RECT
30,30
0.,0.,1.
*BEAM SECTION,MATERIAL=STEEL,ELSET=ELSET_ALL,OFFSET1=-0.5,SECTION=RECT
30,30
0.,0.,1.
And now:
*element, elset=ELSET_ALL,type=B32R

*element, elset=BYX,type=B32R
14, 5, 64, 30,
*MATERIAL, NAME=STEEL
*ELASTIC
210000, 0.3
*BEAM SECTION,MATERIAL=STEEL,ELSET=BYX,OFFSET1=-0.5,SECTION=RECT
30,30
0.,0.,1.
*BEAM SECTION,MATERIAL=STEEL,ELSET=ELSET_ALL,OFFSET1=-0.5,SECTION=RECT
30,30
0.,0.,1.
*STEP
*NO ANALYSIS
*END STEP
That is enough.
*BEAM SECTION,MATERIAL=STEEL,ELSET=ELSET_ALL,OFFSET1=-0.5,SECTION=RECT
