		Description: Selects the Element Deformation Set to be applied to the model. 
		
 
		Format: 
		
 
		 DEFORM = 
		  n 
		
 
		Example: 
		
 
		 DEFORM = 27

		Remarks: 
		
 
		-  DEFORM Bulk Data entries will not be used unless selected in the Case Control Section. 
		  
 
-  The total load applied will be the sum of external (LOAD command), element deformation (DEFORM command), constrained displacement (SPC command), and thermal (TEMPERATURE command) loads. 
		  
 
-  Static, thermal, and element deformation loads should have unique set identification numbers.
