Here, the local x‐coordinate points in the global Y‐direction (along the length of thePIPE element). Since no orientation keypoint is defined for these elements, the local y‐coordinate of the elementmust lie in the global X‐Y plane, which means it points in the negative global X‐direction. Thus, the stresses on theright side of the bottom of the beam are determined by LS = 17 for node i and LS = 49 for node j.
