  Hi,
  
  Does anyone know how to see the orientation of fibers IN Ansys Mechanical.
  
  In the Layerd section I rotated fibers in relation to x axis, but the x axis in global coordinate system is normal.
  
  Thanks in regard.

  I have not done much composite modelling in ansys, but the information below shows how to visualise the fiber directions (help manual/ graphic options toolbar):
  
  Think though this is only valid when ACP has been used. If layered sections are used than Ex (say fibre for a ply) is along the element local orientation of X, and so on.

  The orientation will show up after you create a ply and click on it.
