How to give displacement of a node in local coordinate system

In Sofistik, the displacement of a node can be done only for the global coordinate system for exaple using WXX,WYY and WZZ.

Is it possible to define the displacement of the node in lokal coordniate system?

Thanks in advance.

Define spring (point link) with very low value at the point and in the direction of wanted displacement. You can superimpose and show displacement in local direction of spring.

I want to input a displacement for a inclined Pile which has a Spring for carrying the vertical load. Due to the inclination of the Pile, the spring also has the inclined local z axis.

Now Sofistik does not allow to provide a Settlement load in the local z axis with WZ for spring. With WZZ, I can define the displacement in the global Z direction. Is there any way that the it functions for local coordniate system also?

You can also shorten a beam element of pile.
