GiD forum

Dear all,
I am using GiD 9.0.2. As I mesh a rectangular plate with nonsymetrical
structured triangular elements, I can not control the hypotenese direction
of the element. It is always from bottom left to top right of a rectangular.
Could you please help me how to modify this hypotenuse direction?
Thank you in advance.

You can't control this direction.
You must do some trick, like swap the normal of the surface (but then the elements normal will be also swapped)
