Hi.
I’m post processing a very simple case for which I have DX, DY, and DY displacements. Additionally I have an option to choose Magnitude. Could anyone explain mathematical meaning of that field?

Hi!
Magnitude is the norm of the displacement vector, i.e. sqrt(DX**2 + DY**2 + DZ**2)

Thank you for the info.
