INTRODUCTION
In structural mechanics simulations, a common output variable is a set of vectors representing the movement or
displacement of geometry. Each displacement vector specifies a translation of a node from its original position (an
offset). EnSight can display and animate these displacements to help visualize the relative motion of geometry.
In many cases, the magnitude of the actual displacements is extremely small relative to the size of the model.
EnSight provides a displacement factor to scale the vectors and exaggerate the displacement.
Normally, displacements are applied in the EnSight Client - providing the proper visual modifications needed.
However, EnSight can actually modify the geometry on the server according to a model displacement variable (not
computed variables). Server side applied displacements will yield proper volumes and other computed attributes.
BASIC OPERATION
Note that your changes in the Quick Interaction area are immediate. Specifying a displacement does not create a
new part, it merely sets the displacement attributes for the selected parts.
