List Displacement

List the desired displacement component for the active study or mode shapes for the active frequency or buckling studies.

Component

  • Component . Sets the displacement component to be searched for extreme values. The default is to list values within 5% tolerance of the Absolute Max value. Click here for available displacement components for listing.

  • Units . Select the units of the displacement list.

  • Plot Step . Sets the step number at which the selected result is to be listed. Available only for nonlinear, dynamic and drop test studies.

  • Mode Shape . Specify the mode number at which you want to list the displacement. Available only for frequency and buckling studies.

Advanced Options

  • Plane, Axis or Coordinate System . Select a reference plane, an axis, or a coordinate system to list displacement. Used for directional components only.

  • Extremes . Check this option to search for extreme values.

    • Criterion . Sets the criterion for extreme results. Available list options are: Absolute Max, Algebraic Max, and Algebraic Min.

    • Sort by value. If checked, activates the sorting of the list.

    • List all values within. Sets the range of values to be listed. The default is to list values within 5% tolerance of the extreme value.

  • Range . Check this box to specify the desired range of nodes to be listed. Use this option to list values sequentially with node numbers. Enter the lowest and the highest node numbers.

List Set

Lists translational and rotational results (for shell studies) . Available only if Range is selected under Advanced Options.

To list a displacement component with respect to a reference geometry:

  1. If needed, create the reference entity you want to use to list the desired displacement component.

  2. Click Simulation, List Results, Displacement.

The List Results dialog box opens.

  1. Under Quantity, select Displacement.

  2. Under Component, select the displacement component to list and the preferred units.

  3. In the FeatureManager design tree, select the reference entity you created in step 1.

Make sure that the reference entity you selected appears in the Plane, Axis or Coordinate System box under Advanced Options.

  1. Set the rest of the list options and click OK.

The List Results dialog box opens and a list of the selected displacement component appears. You can change the display units of the displacement by selecting the desired units from the Units menu.

  1. Click Save.

The Save As dialog box opens. You can save the list to an Excel file (*.csv) or as a plain text file (*.txt).

  1. Click Close.
