**switch_element

Description

This command is used to inverse the element axis orientation. Note that the element orientation can be visualized in Zmaster.

Syntax

The command has the following syntax:

**switch_element \(~\,\) *elset elset-name \(~\,\) *axis axis

The options for this command are described below:

*elset

is the elset to which the inversion is applied

*axis

Give the axis (1, 2 or 3) around which the rotation is performed

**switch

Description

This mesher modifies the orientation of the mesh by switching an axis (x,y,z,-x,-y, or -z) to another. In addition, it also corrects inside-out elements that may arise as a result of axis switching.

Syntax

**switch \(~\,\) *axis from_ax to_ax

where from_ax are to_ax the original and the new axis, respectively.

Note

**simple_switch is an alternative command (same options) which only switches axes and does not check inside out elements.
