Hello Nate, 

unfortunately, there is currently no direct way to plot angular velocity other than using some crude methods, as the one that you have found in previous posts. 

If you are using the 6DOF model as your previous post suggests, you can check the Write Motion History box when defining 6DOF properties. This will write to file the time, XYZ coordinates [m] and theta_XYZ angle [deg] for the center of gravity of your rigid body. You can then use a 3rd party tool to calculate and plot angular velocity.
