      Yes, but only for small deformation (NLGEOM,OFF). First, you need to create a cylindrical coordinate system located at the center of the shaft, along Z axis. Then, create a User Defined Result, choose the cylindrical coordinate system and define the expression UY/LOCX. Indeed, in small deformation, Theta = Utheta / radius. To have the value in degrees, change the Output Unit to “Angle”
