Hello,

is there a way to plot total deformation on y-axis and the length of a deformed beam of the x-axis in Static Structural? I used the path function snapped to mesh nodes to successfully plot normal stress against the beam length, and I would need a similar graph for the total deformation. The only posts I have found either discuss Force/Deformation graphs which is not what I'm looking for, or inserting an equation to create a similar graph, but I would need a graph based on the simulated total deformation.

Many thanks to whoever would be able to point me in right direction!

Hi, 

You can construct a path along the length of the beam, and then the scope total deformation to that path.

then use 'Chart' to plot the total deformation along the axial distance:
