For any loading combination, the torsions of the stories and the deformations of bars can be observed together with the deformations of the foundations at the same moment. The observation perspective can be from any angle. The system can be turned arbitrarily in fly mode with the interactive camera, so that the user can look at the system from any perspective view angle. If desired any items can be selected and filtered on any story for a detailed investigation. Both the non-deformed image of the structural bearing system in the foreground and its expected appearance after deformation in the background can be represented in the same window and at the same time. The deformation ratio of the framework can be modified on the deformation scale.

By the animation function the user can observe the movements of the framework under vertical and/or horizontal loads, and to make himself a detailed picture about the expected deformation behavior of the system.

The deformation lines of the framework can be transferred to the vectorial drawing mode and be printed or plotted completely as line objects in any pin thickness and color effects.
