Problem:

We are trying to gain additional margin in the supports through more advanced support analysis techniques.  Is there an option to output a time-dependent restraint reaction rather than merely the peak reaction which is output by default?  Certainly this information is solved for at each analysis timestep and stored in order to pull the peak value.  Are we able to output this information (time history reaction output)?

Solution:

Yes. 

On the Time History tab of the Dynamic Load dialog, at the far right side is a column for "Print Step Results", enable this option (see online help for complete details on this option). 

 

To see these results open the "Time History Post Processor" located under the Results menu and see the online help for full details on this dialog.
