Deformations

In the navigator, define the deformations to be displayed on the surfaces. The table lists the deformations of each surface according to the specifications set in the Result Table Manager . There, you can also control which extreme values are displayed.

The Results by Surface in Table image shows the table with the global surface deformations. They refer to the X-, Y-, and Z-axes. The results shown in the Local Deformations of Surfaces in Table image refer to the surface axes x, y, and z.

Info

With the Local Axis Systems of Surfaces on/off function available on the surface shortcut menu, you can show or hide the surface axes.

The local displacements and rotations have the following meaning:

|u| Absolute value of total displacement
ux Displacement in direction of local x-axis
uy Displacement in direction of local y-axis
uz Displacement in direction of local z-axis
φx Rotation about local x-axis
φy Rotation about local y-axis
φz Rotation about local z-axis

When analyzing curved surfaces, the surface axes refer to the axes of finite elements (see the image Displaying FE Axis Systems ).
