Yes, it is possible by using the \u201cDeformation Tracker\u201d. These are the steps to follow to be able to use this capability: 1. Click on Solution Information 2. Right click and \u201cInsert Deformation\u201d 3. Select the vertex of interest and specify the orientation Additional information on Result Trackers can be found in the following section of the documentation: ANSYS Documentation > Mechanical Applications > Mechanical User\u2019s guide > Understanding Solving > Result Trackers > Structural Result Trackers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-170813","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-18-2","topic-tag-general","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-structural-mechanics"],"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
