Hi, I have modelled a solid cube to cube face impact and would like to know the speed of wave propagation through the material after impact?

I have tried plotting the velocity for nodal soltion under time histpro, but it seems to be give the value of the velocity at which the cube is moving at, not the pressure pulse through the material.

thanks!
