Reference deformation when displaying modal results in Simcenter Samcef

When you create a deformed model display, nodal displacements are initially transformed and scaled with respect to the origin of the current coordinate system.

You can also display these displacements on a Reference Deformation that is loaded from the results file. For instance, when you chain a non-linear solution with a modal one, you can display vibration modes around the instantaneous configuration (reference time) computed during the non-linear solve.

In the Deformation dialog box, in the Reference Deformation group, use the Deform With list to specify the method for determining the reference deformation:

• None—No reference deformation is applied.

• Default—Use the initial deformation that is specified in the results file.

• Select—The software populates the lists with the existing results so you can select the result from which you want to retrieve the deformation.
