10. Right click any joint to get a table of displacements for the joint. Note you can print this
table by selecting Print from its associated File menu. When done viewing this table click
the “X” in the upper right-hand corner to close it.
Note: You can also right click a frame element or a shell element to get a table of forces for
that element.
Note: You can also print joint displacements from the graphic interface without
having to first view them in a table. With this method you can control the elements for
which the output is provided (printed). After the analysis has been run, select all of
the joints for which you want displacement output. (Note that if you don’t select any
elements, then this feature will give you output for all elements.) Then select Print
Output Tables… from the File menu. Fill in the resulting Print Output Tables dialog
box, remembering to select the load cases for which you want output, and click the
OK button. Note that with the Print Output Tables feature you have the option of
printing to the printer or to a file. If you print to a file, an ASCII file is created which
you can review in a text editor or word processor.
11. Click the Show Undeformed Shape button to clear the display of deformed shapes.
This completes the review of deformed shapes and displacements.
