Find the elements in "Zone"

I modeled using PCOMPP and trying to view ABD matrix but the Engg. constants are under zones. Is there a way to figure out what elements are under a given zone?

    Hello,

    in the composite browser, if you go under laminate “zone view” you can see each zone and the elements inside.

    Thank you Jason! It looks like in PCOMPP modelling the drape tables are not being considered as the stackup/sequence only shows "0". Is there a way to consider the drape angles in ABD matrix calculation?
