Local Coordinate System
The local coordinate system used in solid elements is the same as
the global system as shown below :

Properties and Constants
Unlike members and shell (plate) elements, no properties are
required for solid elements. However, the constants such as
modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ratio are to be specified. Also,
Density needs to be provided if selfweight is included in any load
case.
