Visualization

Deflected View

The Deflection slider provides an interactive mechanism for visualizing the magnified deflection the geometry experiences under the specified loads and restraints. In addition to the slider method of entry, a numeric value may be entered in the edit box. The deflected shape is the result of a linear extrapolation of the static displacement and should not be construed as the actual deflected shape.

The following is an example of a solid that has been deflected. The wireframe shape represents the original view of the solid, the rendered shape is the deflected view.
