Showing Normal Stresses with LCS Issue

      Hi, I want to view normal stresses in a direction other than the GCS but if I create an LCS and try to use that to define the direction in the normal stress details window it is yellowed out. Can anyone help?

      I managed to answer my question. It was on an assembly with 3D and 2D geometry and when the default all bodies was selected the LCS was yellowed out. But when I scoped to just the 3D bodies it worked fine.
