Deformation in a Quad Element

Post by duttaANURAG »

Good Afternoon Community,

Please tell me how to find the deformation in a quad element in OpenSees?
I mean What command should I use to find the deformation in a quad element, as the only valid queries for a quad element are forces and stresses, as mentioned in the OpenSees page of quad element.

Please kindly help me out.

Your kind help will be appreciated a lot.

Thank You.
