  The PRNSOL, U, X command lists the nodal solution. When nlgeom, off, the UX and UY nodal displacement results are all zeros. With /ESHAP, 1, the UX results are shown at the pseudo points of the 3D expanded element geometry. The pseudo point displacements account for contributions from both nodal displacements and rotations. Therefore, the pseudo point displacements may not match nodal displacements. With /ESHAP, 0, the displayed UX will match listed UX.
