Angular Deflection...

Anyone know how to get Mechanica Structure to give you an angle of
deflection? If you put in a cylindrical coordinate system, it seems that
the deflections are still in mm.

Seems like the new computed measures (WF2) could fix this (If you have a
constant radius), but maybe I'm missing a more obvious solution.

Thanks!

With a cylindrical cs, you get r, theta and z (radius, angle and height
above/below z). Maybe the problem is a radius, not an angle or something to
measure these against or non-planar curves?
