I am looking to output orientation vectors of beam elements to either the ODB or FIL.
I have done this for shells using:
The local coordinate system shows up in the ODB in the fieldValue.localCoordSystem member. It also appears in the FIL.
Unfortunately for beam elements, the local coordinate system is nowhere to be found.
Any suggestions?
