Dear Colleagues,
I would like to esxport the displacement of the moving mesh when using commmand fix mesh/surface/stress/servo. Is there a way to do this?

Hi ZYan,

as its written in the doc pages:
This fix stores a global vector with 9 components for access by various output commands. The first 3 components are equal to the total force on the mesh, the next 3 components store the total torque on the mesh. The last 3 components output the wall position.

So it would work, if you use a variable command to access the vector as e.g.:
variable xPos equal f_FIXNAME[7]

Cheers
Josef
