With database "Joint Displacement" does not include internal joint.
With API PointElm.GetLoadDispl also no success, it returns empty list.

Has anyone succeeded with this?

If I use PointElm.GetCoordCartesian for the same internal joint it actually can return the coordinate

This code did the trick for me:
Python:
x = SapModel.Results.Setup.DeselectAllCasesAndCombosForOutput()

loadName = "Dead"

x = SapModel.Results.Setup.SetCaseSelectedForOutput(loadName)

z = SapModel.Results.JointDisplAbs('~64', 1)

print(z)
