ANSYS Workbench - Beam Elements Orthotropy CS

ANSYS Workbench - Beam Elements Orthotropy CS

(OP)
Hi,

I have been trying to figure this out on my own, but I found it very hard to have clear information on this.

I want to define orthotropic elasticity for a beam element model. However, I do not want to define the local element coordinate system one by one as I am changing the geometry often.

If I use BEAM189, and define orthotropic material properties, the material properties will be assigned to the element local coordinate system, is that correct? Or do I have have to define something else?

Thank you!
Mariana
