Rib Intrusion
The rib intrusions can be measured by determining the elongation of springs. The spring elements are listed in the following table and the outputs can be located in the deforc file. The springs are located in the piston bearing system.
The measurement of the rib deflection by using the relative displacement of 2 nodes is not supported any longer.
