Display deformed results

Hi, hope someone can point me in the right direction as I am unable to find this… How can the deformed display of the results be scaled, e.g. is there a way to control the deformation factor? Alternatively, how to display the results on the undeformed model?

The issue: I have a model with two parallel vertical walls. One is loaded from the right with a distributed load. The vertical wall height is about 140mm and the walls are about 55mm apart horizontally. The deformed results are shown below. The maximum deformation here is 0.7mm but the deformation of the wall is shown so extreme that it pultrudes the opposite wall. This is not the expected display of my result :wink: Is there a way to scale the deformation to be less extreme?

Many thanks for your insight!

Yes there is

Set the Type to User defined and specify custom deformation Factor (you can also set True scale for real deformation or Undeformed):

Thank you @arnie and thank you @FEAnalyst! :slight_smile: Clearly couldn’t see what was right in front of me!
