Sorry for my english. It isn't very good.

I want to do a Time History in workbench. I understand that I need to do a Transient Structural.
First, I'm modeling a beam to understand the analysis. I did a sketch and I extrude it. I did the mesh and I set the fixed support.
I wrote this code for the ground motion

*DIM,dataPath,STRING,128
*DIM,fileName,STRING,128

fileName(1,1)='2reg85'
dataPath(1,1)='C:\Users\Jorge Navarro\Documents\ANSYS PRUEBA\'
dataPath(1,1)=strcat(dataPath(1,1),fileName(1,1))

*DIM,Tt,table,8168,1,1,TIME
*TREAD,Tt,dataPath(1,1),txt,,0

D,NS_GROUND,ACCY,%Tt% !!!!NS_GROUND is a named selection and it's the fixed support node.

But I have a problem, when I check base reactions, there are values in X and Z directions in the forces. ¿Why? If I check displacements, I only have in Y direction, I guess, displacements are ok.
