You're welcome Emir!

Here is the shell mesh Element Coordinate System override method.

Create a new Coordinate System using Manual with ID = 12.

Then add a Command Snippet to the Modal branch like this.

Here is the text of that command:

/PREP7

EMODIF,ALL,ESYS,12

FINISH

/SOLU

It worked for me!

Best regards, Peter
