What coordinate system is used by the *GET command?

      The ANSYS documentation for the *GET command states that “*GET command operations, along with the associated Get functions, return values in the active coordinate system unless stated otherwise.” Is the CSYS or RSYS coordinate system is the active coordinate system? ANSYS has two potential “active” coordinate systems. The active coordinate system depends on the type of data being processed. The RSYS coordinate system is always active for results. The CSYS coordinate system is always active for geometry data (regardless of the module, so the CSYS is active for geometry data even from within /POST1).
