Outputing measurements from Kinematics

I have set up a kinematic model of a railway bogie moving relative to the car body so that I can obtain internal clearances, damper lengths and damper trunnion angles. The mechanism is free to move in X,Y & Z plus it can pitch and yaw in any combination of movements. I have set up several simulations to replicate various movement cases and I can extract the information by stepping through the simulations and recording the required values manually. This is very laborious as there are a lot of steps and I feel I should be able to extract what I need straight to a file but I cannot determine how. Can anyone point me in the right direction please.
