    you're plotting magnitude, so it is the vector summation of all directions. you have separated results (X, Y and Z).

    If you want to measure rotation you can request the option (ROTA) in GLOBAL_OUTPUT_REQUEST >> DISPLACEMENT(H3D), ROTA >> results in radians.

     

    You could also measure angles in HV using 'Measure' panel.

     

    For visualization purposes you could also increase scale factor in 'deformed' panel to see a scaled deformation.
