Material direction in curved section

Material direction in curved section

Material direction in curved section

(OP)
Hello all

I have a composite material tube made of straight and curved sections , meshed with hexa plates in Femap 9.3

The problem is how to define  the material direction along the curved part of the tube. Parametric direction of the surfaces (u,v) could be helpful, but I don't find this choice in the menu. Other possibilities ?

Any suggestion would be helpful
Thank you all
