See Section
1.19.3
SECTION DISPLACEMENTS are measured in GLOBAL
COORDINATES. The values are measured from the original
(undeflected) position to the deflected position. See figure above.
The maximum local displacement is also printed. First, the location
is determined and then the value is measured from this location to
the line joining start and end joints of the deflected member.

Notes
1) The section displacement values are available in Global
Coordinates. The undeflected position is used as the datum for
calculating the deflections.
2) This is a secondary analysis command. An analysis must be
performed before this command may be used.
