Hi,
I´ve got results from analyzing an assembly composed of connected beams, surface and solid bodies. However, in the visualization I can see deformations for solid and surface bodies correctly while those corresponding to beams appear awkward, kind of a sweep of all deformed positions (images display "no undeformed wireframe" option for clearer view).
Any idea why is this and how to solve it? Thanks

Try turning off "Thick Shells and Beams" and "Cross Section" under Display Tab:

Thanks @Aniket. I tried it but did not work: same result...

The funny thing is that happens only for beams with boundary conditions imposed on them (forces and/or forced displacements). Could that be a clue?

[Aniket]

which of the following option are you using?
