The following video shows how to plot the deformed shape and use it to check if the displacement constraints have been applied correctly.

Summary of steps in the above video:

1. In the Results main window, under the Objects tab, Click Add near "Results" - Click on "CONTOUR"
2. Add the body of the crank using the body select tool
3. Under "Variable", select "Displacement Magnitude" - Click Generate and analyze the results of the contour map

Sigma_x Conturs

We next take a look at σ_x variation in the model.

Summary of steps in the above video:

1. Click on ADD next to "Results" and add another "Contour"
2. Make sure the the location is specified
3. Under "Variable", scroll down to "Stress" and click on "Stress XX" - You can also rename the Contour
4. Update and analyze results
