Hello, 

I have two questions please;

1. how can i define a 45° oriented youngs modulus of a material  ? is it possible with the orthotropic model definition ? Since with orthotropic modelling we just have orthogonal axes (90°) --> I have the youngs modulus in longitudinale direction, transverse direction and oblige(45°) direction. I can input the longitudinale direction(x) and transverse direction(y,z) what about the 45° ?

2. can i assigned 2 material property in ansys which are reference to two different coordinate system? ( exemple i wish to define two local coordinates system with different orientations, then assigne orthotropic properties to each coordinates systems)
