Question:
Where in the program can I set whether the global Z-axis and the local axes should be directed downwards or upwards?
Answer:
This can be done in the Edit Model - Base Data dialog box. In the "Settings and Options" tab, it is also possible to configure the axes in addition to the settings of the standard gravity/mass conversion constant and the model tolerances.
The following variants are available for the global axes:
Z downwards
Z upwards
You can define these variants for the local line, member, and surface axes:
z downwards
z upwards
y upwards | x
y upwards | z
