    Add API 661 allowables to rotating equipment

    Provide user ability to insert cooler nozzle allowables per API 661. This would help with cooler orientation and no longer require user to look up allowable values each time. Provide a multiplier allowable (i.e. 2x 3x API limits)

    Export unit vectors for local axis of a node.

    For a point (say A00) , I would like to obtain the local coordinate system as unit vectors, such as: Local X direction = [Xx, Xy, Xz]Local Y direction = [Yx, Yy, Yz]Local Z direction = [Zx, Zy, Zz] I am also interested in exporting this informatio...
