3.Finite Element’s Local Coordinate System: The element's local axes can be viewed directly by activating 'Display Local Axis.' The line representing the element's direction corresponds to the X-axis, the second line represents the Y-axis, and the third line represents the Z-axis, as shown in the figure below.

Info

An node’s coordinate system can be viewed in the FEA tab of the workflow, under Geometry > Nodes (when the lock icon is clicked), in the 'Coordinate System' column. To display the local axes of the elements, the steps are as follows: 1.Switch to the FEA View - Model Image Added 2.Click the Settings icon and choose 'Display Local Axis' Image Added Then, the local axes for each element will be displayed, and the size can be adjusted via the FEA View settings, which can be accessed through the Settings icon.
