How to fetch coordinate values for a node within a UPF

      I am writing my custom swell law using the usersw.F subroutine. Within this,  I am looking to define a swell law where the swell strain is a function of location. I therefore need to fetch the x,y and z coordinates of every element. I am not sure how I can get these values.
