Displacement between steps

[fxue]

Hi,

I've developed an FE model that contains 3 steps. I am wondering if there is a way to calculate the displacement that purely caused by step 3 (not the overall displacement outputed from step 2 and step 3) of a node. Many thanks.

In the results query the node in both deformed states and then subtract. I hope this helps.

You can also write a small script to do this for the whole body and display a contour diagram.
