This interface is used to trace the paths of nodes over time (note that it is available for post-processing only). The trajectory of nodes can be displayed by selecting them using the General Selection Interface and then playing the animation using the Animation Controls (which can be accessed by clicking the Anim Rendering Button). The plotted traces can be output in several forms (displacement curves, coordinate histories, or *BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION_NODE). This data is often used to define prescribed motion for sub-system models.
