SUBROUTINE ORIENT(T,NOEL,NPT,LAYER,KSPT,COORDS,BASIS,ANAME, 1 NNODES,CNODES,JNNUM) C INCLUDE 'ABA_PARAM.INC' C CHARACTER*80 ANAME DIMENSION T(3,3),COORD(3),BASIS(3,3),CNODES(3,NNODES) DIMENSION JNNUM(NNODES) C C C WE WANT THE FIRST MATERIAL AXIS TO BE +45 DEGREES FROM THE FIRST SIDE C OF A GIVEN ELEMENT AND ALSO TO BE IN THE PLANE OF THE SHELL C (IE, PERPENDICULAR TO THE SHELL NORMAL). THE UNIT VECTOR THAT C SATISFIES THESE REQUIREMENTS IS IN THE GLOBAL DIRECTION C X=(.091752,.908249,.4082486). C C NOW COMPUTE ANGLE (`THET') BETWEEN THIS DESIRED C FIRST MATERIAL DIRECTION AND THE FIRST BASIS DIRECTION CHOSEN BY ABAQUS. C C X1=.091752 X2=.908249 X3=.4082486 C C COMPUTE ANGLE FROM DOT PRODUCT C COSTHET= BASIS(1,1)*X1+BASIS(2,1)*X2+BASIS(3,1) 1 *X3 THET=ACOS(COSTHET) C C ROTATION `ALPHA' IS +THETA DEG FOR THE TOP 3 SECTION POINTS C AND (THETA - 90) DEG FOR THE BOTTOM THREE SECTION POINTS C AT EACH INTEGRATION STATION C IF(ANAME.EQ.'LAYER2') THEN ALPH=THET ELSE ALPH=THET - 1.57079633 END IF C C COMPUTE ROTATION MATRIX--ONLY THE FIRST TWO BASIS DIRECTIONS NEEDED C FOR SHELLS. THE THIRD DIR. IS ALWAYS NORMAL C TO THE SHELL SURFACE. C T(1,1)=COS(ALPH) T(2,1)=SIN(ALPH) C T(1,2)=-SIN(ALPH) T(2,2)=COS(ALPH) RETURN END
