i have used pipe idealization for a few pipes in the chassis file to account for the bends it has and have made it an elbow element and have also enabled the mid side nodes to support the solution of the elbow 290 elements. after solving the mechanical post-processor isn't able to show the deformation of these elbow 290 elements instead its breaking the elements from the file and is showing the deformation of other beam elements in the chassis. i have attached a pic of the error message. how do i enable the mechanical post-processor to show the deformation of the elbow elements. i would be really thankful if someone could help me get the graphical display of the deformation of these elbow elements.

Hi Chaitanya,nnAs the warning message indicates - graphical display of deformation is a limitation for Elbow elements.nnRegards,nAshish Khemka

I have the same problem. What we have to do to solve it? I'm doing a chassis too and i have the same issue with the elbows.
