  Yes. In the Details Window for most result object you can select the Solution Coordinate System in the Coordinate System property cell. The Solution Coordinate System setting implements the MAPDL RSYS,SOLU command. If the individual element coordinate systems are aligned randomly, you can re-align them to a local coordinate system to obtain a uniform alignment.

  Hello Everyone,
  I made surface along my local coordinate at my 3d model in ANSYS workbench 2022 R1. I want to export normal stress data in my local coordinate. when i export normal stress data, it will obtain along global coordinate. But I want normal stress exported data in local x, y and z coordinates not along global coordinate.
