how does one link orthotropic material properties to a custom coordinate system

I would like to apply orthotropic material properties to a single part in my assembly model and have created a coordinate system for this component.   When I try to edit my material to apply orthotropic or transversely isotropic properties, I cannot find a way to link these to my component coordinate system.

Is there a way of doing this?

I just found that you apply the orientations in the material assignment.

That is the correct answer.

Hello David,.

I did not fully understand your question, find you the values of AL 2014, as for example on the attached document.

Kind regards.

In the table above there are boxes for E1 and E2/E3.  How does one know which directions these properties are for?  If one wishes to have certain properties apply directionally to a local coordinate system which is different than the global coordinate system how does one do that?
