# Displacement Response

Create a Design Response that measures the maximum displacement of some boundary region for a set of boundary conditions. The response is derived from the solution of a linear static structural finite element analysis. The best performance is achieved if: 1) the selected region is local and contains few nodes, and 2) the selected region is loaded or assigned to be passive.

### Inputs

| Name | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| Boundary | [Boundary](../../../../block-documentation/types/boundary) | Boundary that the design response will be computed on. |
| Load case | [Boundary Condition List](../../../../block-documentation/types/boundary-condition) | Load case for the design response. |
| Direction | Direction Component Enum | Operation that will be applied to all nodal displacement components of the Boundary input before being aggregated with the max operator. \|X\| will compute the magnitude of the displacement vector projected onto the X-axis, \|XY\| will compute the magnitude of the displacement vector projected onto the plane spanned by the X-axis and Y-axis, and \|XYZ\| will compute the magnitude of the non-projected displacement vector. |
| Frame | [Frame](../../../../block-documentation/types/frame) | Reference frame that the displacement vector will be computed in. If a Frame is not specified, the global coordinate system will be used. |
