• Selecting three nodes (N1, N2, and N3). The vector is the normal of the plane defined by
the three nodes. N1 (or the base node, if selected) is the point on the plane through
which the vector passes.
• Selecting a model vector (i.e., arrows representing a local coordinate system vector or
load vector).
Planes can be defined by:
• Selecting the x-, y-, or z-axis and a base node. The base node locates a plane normal to
the chosen axis.
• Selecting two nodes (N1 and N2). The resulting plane is normal to the N1-N2 vector and
passes through N1 (or the base node, if selected).
• Selecting three nodes (N1, N2, N3). A parallel plane can be specified by selecting a base
point elsewhere in the model.
• Selecting a model vector (i.e., local coordinate system vectors or load vectors). The
resulting plane is normal to the vector.

2. Click the leftmost switch, , and select elems as the data type to be translated.
3. Pick the six elements on the right side of the model by clicking the element handles in the
center of the elements.
− Click the plane and vector collector switch, , in the center of the panel.
− Select N1, N2, N3 (the nodal form of specifying a vector or plane) on the pop-up
window.
− Pick a node in the graphics area (see illustration for location of nodes).
A circle the same color as N1 appears around the node to show that it was selected.
HyperMesh automatically moves the graphic input cursor to N2.
− Pick a second node in the graphics area. HyperMesh automatically moves the
graphic input cursor to N3.
Â
The vector is the normal of the plane defined by the three nodes. N1 (or the base node, if
selected) is the point on the plane through which the vector passes.
− Click distance =.
The input cursor appears in the input field box, indicating that you can edit the value.
− Enter 50.0.
 You can reject a node that you have selected by clicking the node or the corresponding
menu item, N1, N2, or N3 with the right mouse button.
