Angular velocities during impacts

I need to determine the angular acceleration and angular velocity of an object after impact at a certain timestep.

 

I am trying to get the results using anim/vect option. But the velocities shown are zero, which is impossible. 

 

How do I determine the angular velocity and angular acceleration?

    Could you tell us on what elements you are checking angular velocity & acceleration?(1D,2D or 3D)

    /ANIM/VECT/VEL and /ANIM/VECT/ACC are the keywords to be used in the engine file to extract the velocity and acceleration .

     

    How did you impose this load on the model?.Can you specify the boundary conditions applied
