Returns:f - x-component of the y-axis of the local system of the pile element
Arguments:p - a pile pointer
f = struct.pile.ydir.y(p)

Get the y-component of the y-axis of the pile element local system.

Returns:f - y-component of the y-axis of the local system of the pile element
Arguments:p - a pile pointer
f = struct.pile.ydir.z(p)
