  Yes. In the Details Window for most result object you can select the Solution Coordinate System in the Coordinate System property cell. The Solution Coordinate System setting implements the MAPDL RSYS,SOLU command. If the individual element coordinate systems are aligned randomly, you can re-align them to a local coordinate system to obtain a uniform alignment.
