Maximum relative displacement between two nodes during the explicit analysis

[mahsaa]

Hi,
I'm looking for finding a way to detect and extract maximum relative displacement between two nodes during the analysis, could you please help me to find a way to get it?
Many thanks,

Aren't you simply asking how to compute: U@Node 1 - U@Node 2?

If so, all you want is to generate a report for the Field Output (U) for all frames/increments. You can have Abaqus compute the relative displacement or do it yourself in a spreadsheet. Search the CAE User's manual for more (section 47 and a few related ones).
