Teng--
In my experience, using the WARP filter with a scale value of 1.0 on the
displacement vector will give the actual distorted mesh at the time
step, or load step being examined by ParaView.
If you are seeing "mesh overlaps" with the WARP filter as described
above, then it is likely one of several conditions:
(1) The simulation datum set already contains the deformed mesh at each
time/state-of-loading. (Check with whomever wrote the results output
routine in your software.)
(2) The loads specified are larger than the structure can properly support,
(3) The simulation software may contain contact (aka sliding interface)
capability that is not being used or improperly specified,
(4) ....

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how to see the deformed shape? Right now, I can use
wrap filter to magnify the displacement. But if I the magnified factor
is too small, I can't see the small deformation. However, if I use
much a bigger factor, the deformation will be too big that the mesh
elements will have some overlap. So I wander which filter I can use to
see the deformation directly.
Best,
