Novice question - Deforming a mesh according to a solution

Hi,
Let me begin that I am new to COMSOL.
Using COMSOL 4.4, I have created a model for poroelasticity based on mixture theory. The COMSOL model uses the Weak Form PDE and things seem to work fine in terms of obtaining solutions.
Since my simulations involve the motion of fluids within deformable media I am trying to post process my solution so that the fluid flow is shown on the deformed shape of the body. So my question is: How do I get the mesh or the geometry to deform according to one of the displacement vector field that I compute?
This is not a moving mesh problem. The mesh or geometry motion I am talking about is simply a post-processing operation. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like you are talking about a deformation plot, not deforming a mesh. In your Results section of the Model Builder, right-click on one of the plots you've created (for example, on any Slice plot in a 3D Plot Group) and you'll see a menu come up that includes "Deformation". Choose that. The rest should be pretty straightforward.
