How to reverse the orientation

Akane Ito

How can I reverse the orientation in a script, as shown in the figure below?

Hi @Akane Ito

You are showing a picture of the coordinate system definition/details.

See here how to set that up (coordinate system):

https://discuss.ansys.com/discussion/1302/create-and-rotate-coordinate-system

Let us know if this helps or if you refer to something else (explain more if that is the case, e.g., if you refer to a force direction)

If it is a force we can get the current direction (force_33 is the defined force object) and then flip it (by vector multiplication):

Vec=force_33.Direction # current direction

Nvec=Ansys.ACT.Math.Vector3D( float(Vec.X) * -1.00,float(Vec.Y) * -1.00, float(Vec.Z)*-1.00) # flip Vec

force_33.Direction=Nvec

Hope the above helps
