composite elements

I have two simple questions about those elements:

 

Verification of composite orientation : I saw the material axis check in post processing (very smart) but it is only relative to the direction we specified in the global direction axis we input ; please confirm me we cannot display this check for each layer

 

 

Are the plotted stresses in the material direction or the global one? I think material, but need confirmation

 

 

Last thing: I do not see the effect and the signification of the strain calculation in the composite option (post processing)

It is true that only the global axis direction can be verified from within the Results Environment.  Some menu items don't appear in the new tool bar Ribbon.  Access "TOOLS" then "Application Options" to toggle to "Ribbon Style".  Composite options should now be available from the Results Options pull-down menu.

The plotted stresses can be displayed in the global or local coordinate systems by double-clicking in the Model Tree while in the Results Environment.
