Question:
After activating a layered FE mesh, the axis orientation is automatically reset to the default. How can I keep the defined axes after layering the FE mesh?
Answer:
When using a layered FE mesh for solids, it is unfortunately not possible to keep the user-defined axis orientation because the layers are always in the z‑direction, and thus the axis definition is determined automatically.
As an alternative, you can use an FE mesh refinement; see the image.
