  • If symmetry is activated, the Z-direction of the symmetry coordinate system is the build direction. Therefore the symmetry coordinate system needs to be adjusted. For this the transformation Option option can be changed to rotating the coordinate system with “R”. Select the red ring for rotation about the x-axis (-90°). Further information regarding build direction and support reduction can be found here.

  • Create the material in the Materials editor and assign it to the Design Space. In this case the material behaviour is Isotropic.

  • The specific values needed are the Young's Modulus (192372 MPa), Poisson ratio (0.3) and Density (7.97E-6 kg/mm3).

  • The Tension Strength is the maximum allowable stress for the material and is set to 320 MPa.
