How can I find the energy of vibrating structure using Ansys transient?

10 October 2016 1 836 Report

I have a plate, modeled in Ansys, with a damping and loads applied at different time steps. Using transient analysis we can find the nodal and element solution using time history for just one node or element. But I looking for sum of all element kinematic energy for each time steps. But I do not know how! Appreciated if you help me.

Mir Aamir Abbas

You may create an element table for strain energy and then check the sum in Ansys Apdl.
