      Yes. The following steps will display the element coordinate systems:
      1. Go to ‘Solution’
      2. Right click >> Insert >> Coordinate System >> Elemental Triads
      3. Select the geometry in the ‘Scope’ options
      4. Evaluate the results.
      It will display the elemental co-ordinate system for elements of selected geometry.
