It should be noted however, that Ansys DesignModeler uses a different coordinate system for cross sections compared to the one used in the Ansys environment, as shown in the picture below. In DesignModeler, the cross section lies in the XYPlane and the Z direction corresponds to the edge tangent. In the Ansys environment, the cross section lies in the YZ plane and uses the X direction as the edge tangent. This difference in orientation has no bearing on the analysis.
