How to set the element coordinate system for truncated cone composite shell in Ansys ?

Submitted by Louis on

Hello, everyone! 

Now, I'am trying to analysis a truncated cone composite shell subjefcted to compression load in Ansys. But I don't know how to set the element coordinate system. I want to set the circumferencial direction as fiber direction, and the thickness direction and generatrix direction as transverse direction. Can any one teach me how?

Thankful to any adivice?
