Total translation in PostProcessing of SEDFREQ solution

Hi to everyone.
I've a question: me and a professor of mine are trying to dysplay the total translation of a structure during the postprocessing of a SEDFREQ analysis. The problem is that this option is not present in the post-processing options (as in the SEMFREQ analysis).

Someone knows if it's possible to display that?

Dear Vincial,
Neither of the Frequency Domain Response Analysis --neither Direct Frequency (SEDFREQ SOL108) and neither Modal Frequency (SEMFREQ SOL111)-- give TOTAL RESULTANT Displacement results neither Output von Mises stress, but SIEMENS PLM Software has many plans to enhance future versions of NX NASTRAN and the above are some of them.

As a workaround you can use Direct Transient Response Analysis (SEDTRAN SOL109) or Modal Transient Response Analysis (SEMTRANS SOL112) where you will have both output total resultant displacements & von Mises stress results.

Also, in FEMAP you can combine Output Vectors using "Model > Output > Process" -- enjoy!.

Best regards,
Blas.
