strange result from the constraint transformation

[S-Y.Chen]

I tried to work on the example on this thread https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=20238
in which the pin support on the both ends was transformed to cylindrical coordinate system, and the radial displacement is suppressed.

After the analysis, the result of the deformation seems a little strange. The shape of the pin holes remains circles, but it is deformation in the radial direction (the holes become larger).

Did I do anything wrong ? Or this is just the numerical error that cause it looks like the holes are enlarging ?

would you post your FreeCAD file and your FreeCAD version info?

Here it is.

Try to scale up the deformation, you will see the holes are enlarged.

anyone has any idea about this problem ?

As regards model settings I don't see any mistake.
Enlarging holes in the deformed view (especially when scaled) are due to way of displaying deformation. Transformation to constrain radial displacement around holes created local cylindrical coordinate system. However, by default *.frd file (output from CalculiX) contains results in the global coordinate system, so the tangential displacement is shown in the rectangular c.s. which appears as a rotation and a bit of hole diameter increase.
