rotated from the user coordinate system by 0-180 about the positive direction of x1 axis.

    Regarding the issue of coordinate system rotation, the difference in stiffness matrix obtained from the original model is shown in line 72:

    The principal bending axes rotated from the user coordinate system by 179.00765138963922 degrees about the positive direction of x1 axis.

    At this point, I have two options:

    <rotate>-179.00765138963922</rotate>

    or

    <rotate>0.99234861036078</rotate>

    I can get The principal bonding axes rotated from the user coordinate system by 0 degrees about the positive direction of x1 axis

    But some elements of the stiffness matrix I obtained are completely opposite, and I still don't quite understand why the angle is 0-180 instead of 0-360, or the direction is positive and negative, not just positive
