Hi,

Is there a direct way to measure clearances between surfaces/distances between nodes? I could calculate using geometry, but it would have been convenient to post process the results directly in the workbench environment. The original clearances between rotor and shroud are 0.005". 

The deflection plot lists the original gridpoint locations. Is there a way to show updated relative gridpoint distances?

Thank you.

Figured it out with a small post-APDL script. 

Thank you.

That is great. If you do not mind since this might be useful to others, do you mind pasting the script into a post?

 

thank you
