Hi Anna,
Thanks for the reply.
Actually, I realized it is part of a bigger problem that I am struggling
with. I have been trying to get a proper solution but haven’t yet. Any
assistance would be really helpful.
Actually my analysis happens in two parts. For e.g. first there is a large
deformation of the body (no deformation factor is needed in the result) and
then there is a thermal shrinkage/expansion on the same body after the large
deformation. So there are two .post.res file with two sets of displacements.
Since GiD by default calculates the deformation based on the original mesh –
for the second analysis, I actually print out the total displacement w.r.t
original geometry. So, it is the large deformation displacement + the small
shrinkage. Now this causes the problem that I cannot use a deformation
factor just for viewing the small shrinkage because GiD applies the
deformation to the total displacement and plots are weird.
How can I solve this problem? Is there a way that I can write an ascii mesh
which can be used as reference for the small displacement instead of having
to use the original mesh information?
Thanks for your support,

Dear Shriram,
I don't understand exactly what you mean.
Your analysis has only one step or several steps?
If you have several steps, when you choose a deformation factor and you
perform an animation you should see each step deformed with that factor.
Best regards,

Hi,
I have a small deformation analysis (thermal shrinkage/expansion) over time.
So I have results for the displacements over time. But since it’s a thermal
problem the deformation is really small, I use a deformation factor to see
the deformation.
I want to animate the deformation with the factor. The animation doesn’t do
that. It deforms with the factor in the animation but the animation is
without any factor.
Is there a way to achieve animation with deformation factor?
Thanks,
