This might be either a stupid question or impossible to solve, but is there some way to make the size of the triad shown for individual element coordinate systems (ESYS in PlotCtrls/Symbols...) larger in ANSYS 10? I have RTFM and i havnt found anything about this. Scince i´m modeling a filament wound composite tube for the first time with layered elements i just want to check if the element coordinate system is ok with respect to the fiber directions. I can se the triads if i zoom out far, far away, but then it is imposible to se anything else. When i zoom in the triad hides inside the element and it is also still ridiculously small. Its not a big problem but it is really annoying. Anyone?
