Need help with normal-tangential displacements for elasticity.

We are using Elmer for nonlinear (presently) 2D static simulations.
For prescribing displacements normal to a surface, we used the keywords and suggested in the Elmer Models manual as :
Node no. 9 is located at 60deg from cartesian 1 direction, and the output generated for the above does not correspond to this. The prescribed displacement was rather observed along cartesian 1 direction, showing no effect of keywords.
Plz mention corrections (if any) or suggestions for solution. Thanks in advance.
For prescribing displacements normal to a surface, we used the keywords and suggested in the Elmer Models manual as :
Code: Select all
!Displacing radially inward for 2% radius:
Boundary Condition 1
Target Nodes(1) = Integer 9
Normal-Tangential Displacement = True
Displacement 1 = -0.05
End
