Results Deformations Deformations.

The Deformation result shows the distortion and the changes in the shape or dimensions of the structure. These changes or distortions result from the loads applied on the structure.

Example of a deformation of a simple structure

Visualization Options

Icon Name Description
Normalize Normalize Adjusts the scale automatically based on the minimal and maximum deformation values.
Enlarge Enlarge Enlarges the scale factor to magnify the deformations in the structure.
Reduce Reduce Reduces the scale factor to minimize the deformations in the structure.
Labels Labels Displays the deformation values as labels on the model.

The maximal and minimal values are also displayed respectively in red and green.

Texts Texts Displays the deformation values on the model.
Value Types Filters the deformation values by local or global extremes.
Texts Undeformed Structure Superimposes the undeformed shape of the model on the deformation result.
Clear Clear Hides the deformation results.
