    The following code can be adapted. Note - the script uses InternalObject, which is an undocumented and unsupported command. There is no guarantee that the script will work, or that it will work for all versions.

    vector_stress=Model.Analyses[0].Solution.AddVectorPrincipalStress()
vector_stress.EvaluateAllResults()
sel = ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.MeshNodes)
sel.Ids=[354] #known NodeId
ExtAPI.SelectionManager.AddSelection(sel)
csys = Model.CoordinateSystems.AddCoordinateSystem()
ExtAPI.SelectionManager.AddSelection(sel)
vector_stress.InternalObject.alignCoordinateSystem(ExtAPI.SelectionManager.InternalObject,csys.ObjectId)
