P. To display the deflect shape

To display the deflected shape of the structure including beam section displacements, use the following procedure.

Tip: This displays a more accurate estimation of the section displacements than using just the nodal displacements, but can also take longer to render on large models.
  1. On the Results ribbon tab, select the Displacement tool in the View Results group.

    The deflected shape is drawn for the current load case.
  2. (Optional) Select different Load in the View Results group on the Results ribbon tab. The displaced shape updates with the selected load.
