How to define the material propertes in axial symmetry

[woodunb]

Hi
I want to define a half cylindrical shell with a symmetric with respect to the central axis. At each point in the shell wall, it has a local orthogonal coordinate system. it has different properties in longitudinal, radial and tangential directions. How can I define this in ABAQUS? Thanks for help

Look at "*Orientation" in documentation, you can define local material orientation based on nodal coordinates.

Also, you ca define Cylindrical coord systems.
