Visualization of the Local Axes

The first important checking that must be done is to see if the local axes for every beam are equal to the ones supposed when assigning the properties. Choose:

            View results -> Local axes

Local X' axe is drawn in color blue, Y' axe in red and Z' axe in green.

If they are different than supposed, go to the preprocessing part, change the properties accordingly and calculate again.

If the drawing of the local axes appear too big or to small, try to change the scale drawing factor by entering a different number in the command line and pressing <Enter>.
