Hello,

Please see if the following link helps on defining coordinate system and also a forum thread on visualizing different local coordinate systems help:

SMART Crack Growth with Semi-elliptical crack (ansys.com)

The second link will help you in visualizing the coordinate systems, if they align with crack front.
