Retrieves the minimum or maximum displacement values from the shell nodes.
| Number | Name | Object Type | Description | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shell Element | ShellElement | An analytical shell element. | No |
| 2 | Load Combo | LoadCombination | The load combination to retrieve displacements for. | No |
| Number | Name | Object Type | Description |

| 1 | Displacement | NodalDisplacement | A nodal displacement class with the requested displacement value. |
There are multiple check-boxes on this element that provide additional input control.
| Name | Available Options | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Min/Max | Min; Max | Indicates whether the minimum or maximum displacement values will be returned. Minimum refers to the smallest numerical value, where negative values are smaller than positive. Maximum refers to the largest numerical values, where positive values are greater than negative values. |
| Res Type | Def; Min; Max | The result type is specifically used for retrieving loads from a response spectrum (RSA) case. In RSA, the static load values are computed first (default). Then, the absolute RSA values are either added (maximum) or subtracted (minimum) from the default case. Thus, this option facilitates the choice between the default, minimum, or maximum RSA cases. Then the minimum or maximum values from within this case is selected with the “Min/Max” option. |
