Thank you very much for your help!

I work on static structural, so I guess I have to insert commands in the solution branch and write a code with the LOCAL command in order to create the spherical coordinate system that I want. But then how can I calculate the radial displacement at the node of my selection? I have to do this with code? I just tried this but a message appears and I don’t get a result.

My fial goal is to calculate the displacement of this node in the R direction

I am a beginner in Ansys so if you have such a script, I would appriciate it a lot if you could share it with me.

Moreover, I have one question. Does the deformation object in the solution branch represent the displacement in terms of physics?
