Global and Local Deflections

[10001063]

I am analysing a simple frame (two diagonal members) to compare the deflections with experimental work with the same frame.

In robot, I get the global deflections of the system but in my experiment I measured the local deflections of each member.

Can I get robot to tell me these deflections?

Thanks

Deflections are always local
Displacement are always global
