The FE axis systems can be displayed or hidden in Project Navigator-Display using the "FE Axis System x, y, z" check box (Figure 1).
The solid coordinate system can be adjusted for solids of the Material type, provided that no layered mesh is activated for the solid (Figure 2).
To do this, open the "Edit Solid" dialog box by double-clicking the relevant solid. The "Axes" tab manages the orientation of the local axes. In the default setting, the axes are oriented according to the global axes. The local axes x or y of the solid can also be aligned parallel to the axes of an edge surface, a line, or a surface, or in the direction of a user-defined coordinate system (Figure 3).
