Deformed coordinates of specific nodes
Deformed coordinates of specific nodes
(OP)
Hi
I am doing a torsional analysis.There are few nodes(nodes which are important for the analysis) over the length of the body. I listed the cocrdinates of the nodes before the analysis but i cannot list the coordinates of the deformed nodes.
Is there any options in post processor to get the deformed coordinates of specific nodes.
Thanks everyone.Any help will be much appreciated.

Rajesh.

RE: Deformed coordinates of specific nodes
You can print coordinates of nodes in /POST1 with the PRNSOL command. For instance:
PRNSOL,U,X !Prints x-component of displacement for selected nodes
PRNSOL,U,SUM !Prints vector sum of displacement for selected nodes
Note that this prints nodal displacements in the global coordinate system by default. If you want to print them to another coordinate system you will have to use the RSYS command to transform their coordinates.

PRNSOL,ROT,X
or
PRNSOL,ROT,COMP
