Select the Displacements tab from the Bar Value Selection dialog to select bar replacement parameters for presentation.
The following parameters may be defined in the results type field.
total displacements on yz plane:
in the global member system:
dX = (UX1-UX2) / L
dY = (UY1-UY2) / L
dXY = sqrt((UX1-UX2)^2 + (UY1-UY2)^2) / L
in the local member system:
dy = (uy1-uy2) / L
dz = (uz1-uz2) / L
dyz = sqrt((uy1-uy2)^2+(uz1-uz2)^2) / L.
In the Components field you can select the following bar displacement or deflection to be displayed.
The total resultant displacement in the local system and whose value equals the root of the sum of squares of the displacements UX, UY, UZ can be selected.
Depending on the selection (deflection results or bar displacements), the total displacement U is given with respect to the initial bar position (U) or the chord of the displaced bar (Uf).
Displacements in the global system are presented in the Nodal Displacements table.
