Can anyone please give me a step by step procedure to check "Velocity and Location of the Striker Bar after Contact" for Split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test by using ANSYS- LS DYNA?
You can get the similar or apropriate answer by searching the keyword in the GOOGLE SCHOLAR page. Usually you will get the first paper similar to your keyword.
From my experience, this way will help you a lot. If you still have a problem, do not hasitate to let me know.

You should use *DATABASE_HISTORY_NODE to save nodal values (velocities etc) of some nodes within your striker bar. Once your analysis is complete you can read in the NODOUT ASCII file into LS-DYNA and plot x,y or z coordinates and x,y,z, velocities (or residual velocity) of your striker bar. You should expect this to be different at different points on your bar owing to stress wave propagation, so you may need to take an average velocity.
