How to display reference plane or curve in mechanica analysis result?

[yzhu-2]

As shown in down figures.

In first figure, there are three defined curves, to act as deformation reference for the part, but in the second figure, in the mechanica analysis result, the curves will not display.

So I can not compare relative position between the part and curves after deformation.

How to make the curves displayed in the result?

I would create beam elements on those curves,and make those beams rigid, either by using rigid links, or constraints. You can only view elements, not CAD geometry without elements, in results.

Another strategy is to export a VRML file of the deformed geometry and import that into the original CAD-file.

Your comment seems to work, but I have not wholely been aware of your idea. I need to exercise that for times.
