Angular Deflection...

Nov 07, 2004 1 Replies

Anyone know how to get Mechanica Structure to give you an angle of deflection? If you put in a cylindrical coordinate system, it seems that the deflections are still in mm.



Seems like the new computed measures (WF2) could fix this (If you have a constant radius), but maybe I'm missing a more obvious solution.



Thanks!

Maybe the problem is a radius, not an angle or something to measure these against or non-planar curves?
