Is there a way to get dimensional deflection info for a model by using the new Cosmos stress analysis add-in for SW 2003? The exaggerated deflection is fun to look at, but just one dimension would be great! Anyone found a solution here?

Actually, I am quite surprised that they included that with SolidWorks. You do not have control over the element type and size, which is as basic as it gets for different types of analyses. Outside of pretty pictures, I would not hold any weight in the results you get. I am not saying the software is bad, but FEA was not designed to be used by everyone. It takes a fair amount of expertise in material science to properly model and analyze a model. That's my two cents...

TO understand fully, and make educated decisions requires lots of education in the areas mechanical dynamics, stress, and strain analysis, and should only be signed off on by those who are qualified and certified to do so.
But to answer the original question of this thread ... No you cannot do that with this package... only with Cosmos works.

If you use Notepad or something and look in the "Results Folder" (Welcome Screen, Options) for a file with the extension ".OUT" (first part is the part name), you can see the max and min displacements, as well as the max magnitude of displacement. It will look something like this:
Maximum Magnitude of Displacement
Node: 1050
Max.: 6.0005e-007
