Constrain forces and vectors

I’m using an NE Nastran and Femap 9.0. A constraint forces and vectors are shown although Deformed style is “None – Model only”. Could please anyone tell me, how that is possible.

You may want to try the Nastran Forum (forum825). I'm not sure I completely understand your question. You should be able to turn off the forces and vectors, if that's what you are referring to. Deformed style set to none just mean that the model should look just the way you created it...the forces acting on it shouldn't be causing any displacement in your post-processing graphics.
 
I can’t possibly remove the constraint force vectors. Those vectors are still in place although “Deformed style” is setted to “None”. That’s not desirable when I want to present the element model without vectors. The only way to remove the vectors is to delete output set.

I haven’t noticed Nastran Forum. Thanks for it!
 
I think I misunderstood your question and didn't clearly state my suggestion, but it looks like Thomas has you on the right track...
