The article about coordinate systems in the actual newsletter cleared a couple of questions but let me also remember the option to display the local coordinate system per element in other sofware products (e.g. Ansys). I think a lot of Caesar II user would find a similar otion very useful.

Furthermore an additional option would be helpful: When it would be possible to define local coordinate systems at restraint nodes directly in the input mask, the restraint summary output could be used with all funtions like max. values, diplacements etc. and the computed values could directly be compared to the allowables, in the coordinate system of the nozzle.
