Hi, errian!

The ‘Local nodal axes’ command is used to create local coordinate system for a node.

Local axes X2, Y2 and Z2 are specified for a node when it is necessary to do the following:
- to apply load or impose restraint along direction that does not coincide with any axes of global coordinate system;
- or to get displacements of nodes in the coordinate system different from the global one.
