/INISHE/ORTH_LOC or /INISH3/ORTH_LOC - Initialization of Orthotropy Direction on each Element

Describes the initialization of orthotropy direction for shells element per element.

Format

For each layer (integration point); except for SH_ORTH property (only one Format):

(1)	(2)	(3)	(4)	(5)	(6)	(7)	(8)	(9)	(10)
i

Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
unit_ID	Optional unit identifier (Integer, maximum 10 digits)
shell_ID	Element identifier (Integer)
nb_lay	Number of layers Must be equal to the number of layers given in the shell property, except for /PROP/SH_ORTH (in this case nb_lay = 1). (Integer)
npg	Number of surface quadrature points (Integer)
ndir	Number of orthotropy direction for each layer (Integer)
Iunit	Input angle unit flag (Integer) = 0: angle in radian = 1: angle in degree
i	Angle of first direction of orthotropy relatively of first direction of the local reference frame. (Real)	or if Iunit =1
	Angle of second direction of orthotropy for layer i, relatively of first direction of orthotropy. Only used for properties /PROP/SH_FABR and /PROP/TYPE51. (Real)	or if Iunit =1

1.	This option can be used to initialize the orthotropy direction for shells element per element. By default, property defined characteristics are used, those defined using this option are priority.

2.	Local reference frame is described in the RADIOSS Theory Manual.

3.	This option is compatible only with the orthotropic shell property, like /PROP/TYPE9, /PROP/TYPE10, /PROP/TYPE11, /PROP/TYPE16 and /PROP/TYPE51.
