<p> <\/p><p>Hi<br>Not sure I understand, which area it is you want to measure (explain more if the below does not help, and other forum members might be able to help more).<br>One way could be to (measure deformed section of a solid) :<br>1. Export deformed shape as STL (go to results and right mouse button click and Export -> STL File.<\/p><p>2. Bring this geometry into spaceclaim and use the Extract Curves tool (under Tools Menu).<\/p><p>3. Select all curves and go to Design and Fill – this will create a surface. The area of the surface can be measured (Measure menu),<\/p><p>Hope this of some help search the internet for more tips on the tools mentioned.<\/p><p>Perhaps other forum members have some other ideas also.<\/p><p>All the best and good luck.<\/p><p>Erik<\/p><p> <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-372750","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
