The deflection result shows the deflection at each node of the part based on a "best fit“ technique, where the original geometry and the deformed geometry are overlayed in such a way that they best fit together, or based on a defined anchor plane defined.
In fact, we can evaluate different type of deflection. The total deflection at each node. The component of the total deflection attributable to differential shrinkage. The component of the total deflection attributable to orientation or the component of the total deflection attributable to differential cooling.
