The majority of stars in the model disk located in the Hercules and anti-Hercules regions have orbits elongated perpendicular and parallel to the bar, respectively. The median value of the initial distances of stars in the Hercules (anti-Hercules) region is slightly smaller (larger) than the OLR radius, respectively.
