To control the graphical display of nodal displacements and nodal rotations, select the Global Deformations check box in the Results navigator. Table 4.2 shows the deformations of nodes in numerical form.
The displacements and rotations are listed by nodes.
Displacements / Rotations
The deformations have the following meanings:
u |
Total displacement |
uX |
Displacement in direction of the global axis X |
uY |
Displacement in direction of the global axis Y |
uZ |
Displacement in direction of the global axis Z |
φX |
Rotation about the global axis X |
φY |
Rotation about the global axis Y |
φZ |
Rotation about the global axis Z |
