Description¶
This valuator generates a vector using the local node numbering in an element. The local parameter is interpreted as the local node numbers of the nodes that define the direction of vector.
The following example defines a vector for the fiber property by local element nodes 1 and 2. This option is very useful when the vector field can be interpreted as following one of the mesh edges.
<fiber type="local">1,2</fiber>
