Hi

There is no automatic way to do what you want, but you can cacluate the direction vector between the nodes and add that to a user defined coordinate system (say being the PrimaryAxisDirection of the coordinate system) in Mechanical. 

Another way could be to use dierectly in the construction path (Two Points option), to scope Point one (start) to first node and the second end Point of path to the other node.

These are some ideas.


Perhaps forum members have some  more ideas.

All the best

Erik
