    Hi Ibath

     

    There's a bunch of ways to export results of displacements at particular nodes in a formatted excel file. If you're within the HyperView interface of HyperWorks, first contour displacement. Then use the Table tool (also called Query in the old interface) to select nodes, check the Contour(displacement) box, and then the export button on the right hand side of the panel.

    Another option is to create a GLOBAL_OUTPUT_REQUEST card for DISPLACEMENT and then set FORMAT = OPTI and  Option = SID with a set containing the nodes you want results on. A .disp file will be created when running OptiStruct and this can be easily converted to excel.
