How do I output displacement at a point on rigid body?
How do I output displacement at a point on rigid body?
(OP)
Dear all,
In ANSYS Mechanical (not the APDL), can I output the displacement at a point (vertex) on a rigid body?
I tried User Defined Result which exported all displacements at all nodes. But because the rigid body is not meshed, there are no nodes nearby the point that I want to probe.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Shawn

Choose the node, and create a named selection from it, then insert a "deformation" plot, in "scoping method" choose "named selection" and choose the named selecion containing that node.
