  Hi!
  I got the latest version.
  But it is not possible to change the Deformation Scale Factor.
  Neither by typing a value or choosing the default values in the drop-down menu.
  Kind regards.

  Hi
  
  Assuming that you have downloaded 2022 R1 from our customer portal.
  
  We can not observe this in 2022 R1 and in a static structural system.
  Also as seen in this Ansys video (time stamp 3:05), the deformation scaling seems normal.
  Can you let us know from where 2022 R1 was downloaded (customer portal), and some screenshots showing the model and the scale factor (any other information that you might find useful also).
  
  Thank you

  I have downloaded 2022 R1 from the customer portal.
  The video you attached does not show any manual selecting/typing of the Deformation Scale Factor.
  No screenshots will help. All to know is: It is not possible to change the Deformation Scale Factor. Meanwhile typing works but not the drop-down menu.

  Hi.
  
  I have the same problem. When I change the scale factor, nothing happens. No matter what scale factor I choose, the display is displaying always the same. Sometimes when I click in one option on dropdown menu scale options, it don't change to the one I choose.

  I reported this to the CADFEM Germany customer portal and ANSYS reported it back as a bug. A proposed workaround for German operating systems is setting the region settings to German (Switzerland) and restart ANSYS.

  Hey Francesco,
  yesterday I recieved the solution from ANSYS support team. My problem was that I used comma (,) instead of a dot (.) as a decimal symbol in windows region settings. I you change it, the scale factor will work fine. If you cannot or don't want to change this settings, you also can type the scale factor (for example "1") instead of using the dropdown menu.
