I have solved the stress state in a cylinder shaped flywheel subjected to a centrifugal force. The material is orthotropic and used simulate a unidirectional composite. This is implemented using: Solid mechanics -> Linear elastic material -> Orthotropic. I can rotate the stiffness according to a chosen fiber direction. The stress tensor is solved in the spatial frame (r,phi,z) and I want to rotate the resulting stress tensor to coincide with the fiber direction using Euler angles. So far i have introduced a "rotated coordinate system" to define the fiber direction but can not figure out how to display my resulting stress tensor components in this orientation.
