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.
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 ).
