To get back the color contours of deformation values, select the Contours button and choose Contour Bands. The colored section refers to the magnitude of the deformation (in inches) while the black outline is the undeformed geometry superimposed over the deformed model. The more red a section is, the more it has deformed while the more blue a section is, the less it has deformed. Notice that far from the hole, the deformation is linearly varying, similar to a bar in tension. Now let's look at the value of the largest deformation. Looking at the top of the color bar, we see that the largest deformation is 0.176 inches. From our pre-analysis, we estimated that the deformation was ~ 0.17 inches - a 2% difference. This is one check on our ANSYS result.
