Is it possible to define tabular acceleration in Rigid Dynamics analysis?

      No, one cannot apply the tabular acceleration in rigid dynamics analysis. Both Acceleration and Standard Earth Gravity must be constant throughout a rigid dynamics analysis and cannot be deactivated. You may consider to integrate the tabular acceleration with time to get velocity and then use the tabular velocity boundary condition to apply the acceleration.
