# 3.7.2.2 Beam Displacements

To examine how displacements vary along the length of a beam, use the "Beam Displacements" component (refer to Fig. 3.7.2.2.1). This component outputs a data tree of displacements along the beam’s axis, consisting of three translation and rotation components in the global coordinate system for each section and load case. The input plugs "Beams|Ids," "LCase," and "ts" function similarly to those of the "Beam Forces" component (see Section 3.7.10).

The output's second paths index from the left corresponds to the element-index, after that comes the index of the ts-value. In fig. 3.7.2.2.1 the outermost branch of results contains the translations and rotations that accompany the minimum and maximum translations in Z-direction.

The **"LCInd"** output represents the load-case index within the current load-case combination of the translations and rotations output.
