Hi all,

I'm trying to extract displacement of internal joint but no success.

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)
