Soil displacements relative to a particular location

Dear Martin and Camilo,

The same command can work with steps provided that you have saved any intermediate steps before the calculation starts (LINK).

Then, the command can be written as:

getsingleresult Step_## ResultTypes.Soil.Utot x_coord y_coord

Thanks! That's exactly what I need it

You could use the output command:

_getsingleresult Phase_# ResultTypes.Soil.Utot your_x_coord your_y_coord

or substitute Ux or Uy instead of Utot if you're interested in horizontal and vertical displacements

This will return the displacement at a coordinate rather than at a node that is moved when you use the updated mesh. Unfortunately this will only give you the displacements at the end of each phase and not the intermediate steps.
