I'm trying to set up a curve to curve contact but it keeps failing because Adams insists on putting the normal of my spline in some nonsensical direction. I've been trying to follow this help article which suggests changing the working grid but it doesn't seem to have any impact on the normal direction:
Has anyone had success adjusting the curve normal direction in Adams 2022.2 (preferably through command language so I don't have to manually do this every time the curve profile changes)?
I don't see anything echo'd out to the command window when I click the reverse normal button. I've attached a n example command file that shows the behavior (edit CONTACT_1 to see the normals). No matter how I set the working grid orientation on lines 96-98 to the curve normal for the second shape always seems to point out of the curve plane.
