Are stresses extracted from DPF global or local to the element orientation

When using DPF to extract stresses are the values returned in the global system, or the local element system?

The stress operators have an input "bool_rotate_to_global" that is often default = True. This will be in the global system by default, but setting this to False will keep in the element orientation.
`
import mech_dpf
import Ans.DataProcessing as dpfop = dpf.operators.result.stress() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.bool_rotate_to_global.Connect(False) # optional
