Benefits: For nodes that have local coordinate systems (defined by a transform), you can now request vector-valued nodal history data to be written to the output database in the global or local system.
Description: It is often useful to be able to view vector-valued nodal history output in locally defined systems, especially in geometrically linear problems. This allows you to quickly verify that boundary conditions and/or loads defined on nodes with transforms are properly applied. By default, the results are written to the output database (.odb) file in the global system.
