For a model with an anisotropic material, we have defined material with "Engineering Constraints" and due to the helical shape of fibers, we have used material orientation with a cylindrical coordinate system for a tube part. Then a rotation is used to set material orientation. you can see the information in Figures 1 and 2.  The question is, does this (defining cylindrical coordinate system for establishing material orientation) change the coordinate system used for exporting stresses and stress distributions in the "visualization" part? How can we find the equations behind this process?
