Hallo all, I have simple and very unconvinietn problem with meshing a surfaces in ICEM CFD - I dont know how to display element coordination system for every surface element in model. Can anyone help?

You can display surface element normal by right-clicking on Shells from the Mesh branch and selecting Face Normals.

Hallo, Yes but there are only normal vectors. I meant what to do to have full coordinate system like in Ansys PlotControl->Symbol->Esys (Element Coordinate System).
