Get directionnal deformation in Python after modal analysis

[math9878]

Hello, I performed a modal analysis on Ansys 2021.R2 and I would like to get in Python the extract of the directionnal deformation at every modes and every points. I tried by using mapd and by reading the .rst file but I keep having the wrong value at the end.
Could you help me ?
At node ID 4757, and mode 1, I should have 153.73 in the X axis.
You will find attach the python file and the rst file
I'm using python 3.9.12 through spyder, and mapdl 0.54

Best regards

Hi @math9878
I think this is a simple mistake: mode 1 on the result file is result set 0 in the PyMAPDL Reader. The script does show ux=153.73 for node 4757 on mode 1 (reader result set 0).
You may also want to use PyMAPDL to post process this and not the PyMAPDL Reader. The Reader will be replaced by PyDPF here eventually.
