Hi all,

I am a relative newbie using the ABAQUS program and was wondering the best method for obtaining an acceleration output from the centre of mass of a model. At the moment I am having to run the job and find the centre of mass from there before going back to history output from the specified node with limited success.
any help would be appreciated
thanks
note. I am modelling a drop test onto an unyielding surface and am expecting a nice deceleration curve.
