UX, UY, UZ are deformation, not location. It looks like all nodes are moving consistently (rigidly) in the Z direction, and deformation is only in X and Y directions. Are these rigid body impacts? Maybe the different X and Y deformations are due to rigid rotation of the bodies (around Z)? 

LOCZ would be the undeformed coordinates and LOC_DEFZ would be the deformed locations.

Can you give more explanation on how this model is behaving and supposed to behave?
