Hi,

In Abaqus and specifically in regard to additive manufacturing simulation in Abaqus, there is one field output named UTACT. According to the Abaqus docs, this is the nodal translation displacement when a node is active. So if it is different than normal UT (which it is as I run some simulations). Can someone explain what does UT represent then? 
Which can be considered as deflection or distortion? Any help please.
