FE Local coordinate system for spheric elements

[Anonymous]

Hello everybody,

can you help me with this problem: you can see in the atteched pictures that the local coordinate system of FE changes from side to side, so that local x on the left side is orientated like local y in right side and viceversa and this makes difficult to read the maps. Is it possible to have same local coordinate system?

Try to set the projection of the results on the global Z axis (Direction Z).

You may also set the local X of the panels in the same direction (0,0,1)

By setting local x (0,0,1) it works!

Thanks!
