# 3.6.3: Nodal Displacements

![Fig. 3.6.3.1: Simply supported beam under axial and transverse point-load](/files/-M9XuUAyxOM__mgk1CdK)

The **“NodeDisp”**-component lists the displacements of each node for the load cases specified via the **“LCase”**-input. Two lists consisting of vectors make up its output at the plugs **“Trans”** and **“Rot”**. For each node there is a vector which contains the three nodal translations or rotations (see fig. 3.6.3.1) respectively. A list of nodal displacements is displayed: vectors with translations and rotations for each node and load case. The vectors refer to the global coordinate system. Their units are meter or radiant. A positive rotation say about the global X-axis means that the node rotates counter clockwise for someone who looks at the origin of the coordinate system with the X-axis pointing towards him or her.
