Use the Deformation Style menu to change the deformed shape exaggeration.
Selecting Actual shows you the deformation to scale. Since the deformations
are often small, the various automatic options exaggerate the scale so that the
shape of the deformation is more pronounced.
Use the Display Settings menu to set the contour style to stepped, smooth, or
no contours. If you turn off the contours, the mesh is displayed for your
deformed part. If you have Element Visibility on, the mesh elements are
displayed. Otherwise, a solid, gray mesh is displayed. The legend shows while
contours are off.
The values of all of the display options for each results set are saved for that
results set.
