I prefer to build a model by FLAC GUI but it seem impossible to extrude the model in z-direction, FLAC just give option to extrude in x-dir. So, how can I change the coordinate after generate the model or I should define the gravity in an unusual way?

You can extrude the geometry in any direction. Go to extrusion pan of FLAC3D and click on the "extrusion view" button. Here, you will see the axis showing Z-Y. Click on the axis and at the right side of the GUI, it will show the "Control Panel: Extrusion". Here, you will have extrusion axis option. Choose, +Z or -Z as you want. If you want to extrude it in Z direction, you should have plan view of geometry in the X-Y plane.
Thank you so much, by the way is there any way to extrude in the radial direction?
before v.50 was not possible by interface.
As mentioned above, by the axis icon you change the direction.
For the redial direction a fish is needed. There are an example of Y->Z swap that i used on the past, but remember: starting v6.0, the language is changed. You can use the internal translator for the old fish.
define rotateYZ
pnt=gp_head
loop while pnt # null
;recording data
yold=gp_ypos(pnt)
zold=gp_zpos(pnt)
gp_zpos(pnt)=-yold
gp_ypos(pnt)=zold
pnt=gp_next(pnt)
end_loop
end ;def
; call function
@rotateYZ
You can change "Extrusion Axis" when extrude your geomety. Three photos are added to help you learn it.
Hi,
Of course, rotation with different types can be handled through Fish programming, but you can use "extrude", "gen zone reflect" and "gen zone copy" commands for simple extrusion, rotation and movement process respectively.
