I have applied torque to the beam and want to see the deflection, not deformation. But, I have seen only deformation in the solution list. So, can anyone help me to find the deflection of the beam in ansys?
It is clearly explained in the below link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdIPcWE5Atc
You can get the deflection by using general post processor (you can see the contour with colour bar) and time-history post processor (you can get the deflection data at nodes: Select TimeHist Postpro > Variable Viewer -----then----Nodal Solution > DOF Solution > Y-Component of displacement. Click OK). If you want any other help, feel free to message me.
You can look at the deformation in each coordinate direction separately. I assume one of them is the deflection you are interested in? If the beam is rotated you can define a local coordinate system for the beam.
In the solution list, could you find the displacements (ux,uy), strain(eptox,eptoy, eptoxy) and stress (sx,sy,sxy). If you beam is built along the x-axis, then the displacements in y-direction, uy, is the deflection you want to determined. You could obtain the deflection of every nodes along the beam.
