Displaying Deformations

You can use the Deformation tool in the Results arc to view the structural deflection more easily. This option is available when surface contours of the displacement variable are displayed, as well as when iso-surfaces and vectors are displayed in Refine. You can animate the deformation by selecting the Show animation button.

Note: Deformations are available for all variables and plots except contours of highest value, lowest value and body plots. Deformations are not available for fluid flow simulations.

To view deformations:

In the Results arc, click Deformation once for scaled deformations and a second time for true deformations.
