# Deflection Diagram

How to display the model deflected shape with magnification, local deflection modes, value labels, and shadow options.

Click **Analysis Results > Deflection Diagram**, to view the deflection diagram on the model itself. This opens the *Deflection Diagram* dialog.

Select the desired Load Combination. Set the Displacement magnification.

Select the member local deflection mode, where options include:

* None
* Local y and z
* Local y only
* Local z only.

The final options include:

* Show values (If selected, values are shown.)
* Show units (Only has any meaning if Show values is selected.)
* Hide shadow of undeformed shape (If selected, the undeflected shape is hidden. If deselected, the undeflected shape is drawn.)
* Hide shadow of deformed shape (If deselected, the program superimposes the diagram of the deflected structure without local deflection. If selected, the diagram of the deflected structure without local deflection is hidden.)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enercalc.com/e3d-training-manual/analysis/reviewing-the-analysis-results/graphical-results-on-screen/deflection-diagram.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
