  Hello everyone!
  Does anyone know how Ansys Mechanical calculates the normal vector on any surfaces, especially on a curved surface? I appreciate to any suggestions or ideas, thanks in advanced.

  Hi
  Will you please explain the reasons why you want to calculate the normal vector on any surface?

  Hi
  Because I want to determine the varying of traction forces acting on the curved surface to apply into the numerical method. Since my traction forces are exerted from stresses and normal vectors in all directions (3D model).
