Deformation of the structure

To visualize the deformed of the structure check:

            View results -> Deformed

The deformed of the structure is drawn magnified in the screen. The magnifying factor is automatically calculated and written in the message window of GiD. To change the factor, write a new factor in the command line and press Enter. Check in the View Results window for other ways to change this factor.

To see the numerical values of the deformation choose:

            View->Label -> All in -> Results

Try also pressing right button mouse over the graphical screen.

Make the appropriate zooms to visualize properly the values. The values are the maximums and lateral values of every beam and represent the vector, expressed in global coordinates, of the displacement. The default units are meters.

To switch off the labels press:

            Label -> Off

In order to choose the visualization style for the diagrams, try:
