I hope to keep track of the deformation of a face\/edge and obtain the temporal evolution of length. However, I am not able to isolate the face\/line for post-processing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Is there any method to only display the edge\/faces interested for deformation? such that I can generate a 2D movie then use image tools to extract the evolution of length etc. Or, does Ansys allow to track the deformation and post-process it similar to total deformation and stresses to extract the quantities? If there is any better method please let me know!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you!!!<\/p>\n<p>Eric<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-363641","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansysworkbench-ansys-staticstructural","topic-tag-mechanicalworkbench-1","topic-tag-faces-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["21343","200"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.59"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["233"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["363641"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["200","21343"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["363891"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["363891"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-04-24 08:11:38"]},"test":"yu272umn-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/363641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/363641\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
