Hello!

In Ansys explicit dynamics, I am performing a simulation of two objects colliding as shown below.

I want to export the global coordinates of two object surface nodes over time (or time step), and the resulting values of those nodes.

 

However, if i simply export the results as shown below, only the node number and the result value from the last step are exported.

How can I export global coordinate information and result values for each node over time?

For example, for the first time step:

    "Ellipsoid_1": {
        "1": [
            [
                -4.900000095367432, (x coordinate)
                0.5555702447891235, (y coordinate)
                0.8314695954322815, (z coordinate)

                1.6639e-004 (results)
            ],

To include node locations, Go to Options -> Export
Set “include node location” to Yes
 

 
Then export the result and see if it helps.
