Linearly varying acceleration

Linearly varying acceleration

Linearly varying acceleration

(OP)
Hello All,
I have already performed Time History analysis on my model and I have maximum accelerations from another program.  In ANSYS I would like to perform an equivalent static analysis on my building.  The maximum accelerations per node vary from floor to floor.  My question is, how do I apply an acceleration to my building that varies linearly with respect to elevation?  I am using Workbench 12.0.1 and can only apply one acceleration to the entire structure.  
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
