      Create a CS assosiated with the origin node.  Note when mesh is re-generated this will need to be updated.  You can also associate to CAD entities like vertices or edges to associate the CS and update automatically with CAD

      Use a Named Selection with Scoping = Worksheet.  Use the worksheet logic to select Mesh Nodes with Distance Smaller to your defined radius with Coordinate system = the local one associated with the node.
