Hi,
I am using Elmer in FreeCad. I have a 3d mesh (Gmsh) of an object, and I want to apply a forced displacement on a few nodes, and measure by how much other nodes have subsequently moved. I can measure the total displacement of each node, but I need to know the x,y,z components as well. Is it possible do measure them?
Thanks

Re: Measuring points displacements (along x,y,z axis)
Could not find a way to do it in FreeCad but by selecting the results in the pipeline you can go file export and export to a paraview vtk file. In paraview you can use the hover on point and it tells you the coordinates and all of the results at that location.

Ok, well I wanted to do it inside Freecad, to automate it and do it for multiple sets of nodes. But thank you for trying!
