HOW TO OBTAIN ACCELERATIONS IN THE TIMEHIST POSTPRO???

HOW TO OBTAIN ACCELERATIONS IN THE TIMEHIST POSTPRO???

HOW TO OBTAIN ACCELERATIONS IN THE TIMEHIST POSTPRO???

(OP)
I am performing some dynamic analysis in ANSYS with the transient tool and Full method is being used to obtain some results.

I´ve obtained displacements at nodes, but I don´t know how to obtain nodes' accelerations. I´ve already looked into TimeHist Postproc menu but only displacements are avaiable.

However, according to the help topics list, with NSOL command, it is possible to obtain accelerations, but when I try to get them nothing happens.

Thank you in advance for your help

You should be able to get accelerations of the C.G. and the lowest point on the part.  When you click on the accelartaions, it takes awhile for ANSYS to make the plot.  Could take an hour depending on how large the model is.
