Motion Simulation - Output 3D Angle to Spreadsheet

[design924]

I'm running NX8.0 Motion Simulation trying to setup a suspension analysis. I'm wanting to output a 3D angle of moving joints to a spreadsheet. How can this be done with the "Measure" command? Or is there another command I should be using? See attached pic for better explanation.

I'm hoping there is a solution for method #1 (from pic)...otherwise I'm not 100% confident in the accuracy of method #2.

Use the Animation window. Activate Measures under the Packaging Options and let the Motion run (don´t close the window). Select the "i"-Icon behind Measures (List Measurements). An info-Window appears with all measures. Store this as a txt-File and open this file in Excel with option fixed withs (you may need to adjust the widhts of the columns and to add more Column break lines).
Hope this works

NX9.0.1

Thank you OlafU! A few more steps, but it gets the job done. Strange NX doesn't allow these to be plotted via "XY-Graphing" straight to Excel.

Just FYI...I found it MUCH easier to copy and paste the "List Measurements" into Excel instead of saving as a text file. Too much post-formatting required with the text file. It would put multiple values that should be in separate columns in 1 cell, then you'd have to use the "Test to Columns" command to separate, etc, etc. If you just copy and paste from the Information window that shows all the measurements, you can write a few formulas out to the side where the pasted data wouldn't be imported. The pasted data comes in completely separated into individual columns and cells (as it should be). Then with the VLOOKUP formula in Excel, you're able graph and format to your heart's desire!

Still think "Measure" data should be as simple as plotting directly to Excel via "XY Graphing." Maybe in a later version...
