Surveying / Cuban architectural degree college transcript, 1986
Spanish term or phrase: nivelación deformacional
This phrase occurs as part of the description of a course on structural analysis:

Formas de funcionamiento de teodolitos y niveles. NIVELACION DEFORMACIONAL. Uso y aplicación. Nociones de planimetría.

Yes, it's not much, but that's the entire paragraph.

As always, thanks!

deformational leveling
Explanation:
this is just a straight literal translation but nothing was coming up regarding the phrase as a whole, and in the examples of usage I could find regarding the field it seemed pretty straight forward as is. It doesn't seem to be a set phrase and it doesn't ring bells in English either, but unless someone knows exactly what it is I guess it's probably close enough
