Measuring displacement in a model

Hi,
I have done a simulation in 2D axis symmetric structural-thermal mode. I would like to measure the horizontal (r axis) and the vertical (z axis) displacement of a point in the deformed shape. I tried using the point evaluation from the postprocessing menu and it returned be a very small value (a few microns). However as shown in the screen, the same point in the deformed shape should have displaced a lot more (a few mm).
I would like ask if there is any way to get the correct measurement of the displacement of the deformed shape. I would need the accurate value so that I could calculate the gap distance in the design.
Thanks,
John

Hi, John.
If you look at the deform tap in the plot parameter, you can see the scale factor.
Deselect the Auto, set the factor as 1.
