Measuring camshaft deflection in the point of force application

      Hi. My goal is to find deflection in the point of force application, and to compare results with data that I got from theoretical formulas. Below attached the Total Deformation of the camshaft. Thanks for your help!

      Hi

      If the force is scoped to vertex since it is a point force, then scope a result (say displacement) to that vertex.

      If it is scoped to a surface than scope the result to that.

      Also provide how the force is applied if it is not scoped to a vertex (say if it is a remote force etc.).

      How the force applied is shown below. I used the perpendicular component. (X axis) I chose 6 surfaces to apply this force cause this bend is divided in weird manner. Thanks for your help!
