Remove Displacement

Results > Tools > Remove Displacement

This tool is used to remove the displacement (obtained from the result) from the nodal coordinates of the selected faces. The required inputs are,

  1. Faces for which the displacement has to be removed.
  2. Source of the displacement data (From displayed loadcase or From file).
  3. Direction and the corresponding scale factor.

There is option (From displayed loadcase or From file) to use the results data either from the data already available on the screen or it can be imported from an external file. The external results file should have the node ID, followed by the displacement in X, Y and Z direction in each line as shown below.
