Exact deformation for bars

Is it possible to display Exact deformation for bars in a table or access via the API?

When you go to diagrams you can chose either Deformation of Exact deformation for bars. The values in the Displacements table correspond to the Deformation diagram. I need to access the values corresponding to the Exact deformation for bars diagram.

  • Deformation - When selected, structures deformed under loads are displayed. To construct a deformed shape of a structure, the displacements and nodal rotations are considered and third order polynomials (the Hermit polynomial) are used.
  • Exact deformation - When selected, structures deformed under loads are displayed. The exact deformation can be displayed only for bar structures. To construct the exact structuredeformation, the displacements, nodal rotations as well as the internal forces caused by external loads are considered.

This is for display only. Exact results are always presented in tables.

After your comment, I double-checked and the values in tables are indeed exact. I must have done a mistake that led me to think otherwise. Thanks for your help.
