This might be oversimplifying but why not just run an analysis with the load 1N at the point of interest.
If you run it in frequency domain you can get velocities as function of frequency.
Or use F = m * a. If you know the mass you can calculate the acceleration and then the speed at a given time.
Just some ideas

When you run it in frequency domain, you will have an option to run it as modal frequency NASTRAN sol111 or direct frequency sol108.Which one??
The other question that arise is with boundary condition, as whether to run as free free state or constrained state.
To reduce the CPU time, is it true to run the quarter body model and get the same response as with full model.
May be I am missing something out very basic here.

Modal frequency means that first the modes are computed and after that the total response. That means that to get accurate results you have to include "enough" modes in the calculation.
Direct means that the equations of motion are solved directly. That means that all modes are included in the calculation.
The "best" choice depends on the problem. I think you should study that a bit before making the choice but the results from both methods should be the same provided your solution parameters are correct.
As for boundary conditions, the requirement is the obvious. They should reflect the phisics/mechanics of the model. If you have double symmetri, sure use it.
Good Luck

Thanks for the comments
Assuming I use sol 111 approach and use free free condition.
I will need bailout card if I use unit force on RLOAD card.
Which I am not sure if its correct.
Can I use SPCD card. If I can then I would not be able to apply the unit force.

If you look at an example on how to perform spektrum-to-spektrum analys it might be helpful.
Basically, say that you apply you load in dof T1, you should be able to combine that with constants in T2, T3, R1, R2 and R3. This will give you a singular solution for a static load due to one rigid body motion. But sol 111 should work as far as I know. Provided I understand you correct.
I would not "play" with the bailout card for other reasons than "error detection", the limitation are there for a reason.
