Hello

 

I want to a component which will be tested using laser velocimeter and  'Normal surface velocity' will be measured. (at some points on surface of the component)

I want to have this parameter 'Normal surface velocity' as output from directresponse analysis or Modal analysis from optistruct. Is it possible to have it.

 

Thanks and regard

Pratik

    Pratik,

     

    Try with Velocity output option and check if that helps.

     

    to activate, Go to Control cards-->Global_output_request--> Velocity
