Maybe this link SolidWorks Simulation: How to Get the Angle of Displacement wil be helpful

Re: Torsional response of a node in solidworks simulation
choose an axis
that gets you cylindrical coordinate outputs

Re: Torsional response of a node in solidworks simulation
I am doing a harmonic analysis. I am looking for the response graph for tangential displacement. But I don't see an option for selecting the axis if I am in the response graph tab. Basically, I am looking for the torsional response and not the displacement. Can you please help me on this?

Re: Torsional response of a node in solidworks simulation
That is something on which I ran the harmonic study. And I marked the node for which I want the torsional response. The simulation gives me the response for Ux and Uy. But I need to know the response for the angular displacement. Or atleast I should know the angular displacement of that particular node for all plot steps.

Re: Torsional response of a node in solidworks simulation
Seckin's link should tell you exactly how to do what you're looking for. You want angular displacement over time, so you need to put your UY displacement plot into tangential displacement, export the time based results, and then do a manual conversion yourself in EXCEL. Sorry, but there is no way to do this using the response graphs.

Re: Torsional response of a node in solidworks simulation
Plot the right parameter.
probe your location
create response graph
im not in front of swx but you might be right that you can't choose an axis
did you at least find what I mean on normal plots?
worst case, output xyz and manually convert to cylindrical

Re: Torsional response of a node in solidworks simulation
Yes I know what you mean on normal plots. I have 190 plot steps for the harmonic analysis I did. I think it would be really difficult to get the coordinates for each and every plot step. Is that what you mean or did I miss anything?

Re: Torsional response of a node in solidworks simulation
You plot based on location. The plot will show all 190 steps per location.

Re: Torsional response of a node in solidworks simulation
I didn't find the actual solution. But in my case, the torsional response to an axial harmonic excitation is same as the axial response to a torsional harmonic excitation. I failed to find out the former and got adjusted with the latter result. But they both are not the same in all the cases.

Re: Torsional response of a node in solidworks simulation
what did not work with the solution provided above?

Re: Torsional response of a node in solidworks simulation
I tried to change the coordinates to cylindrical. But, the problem is that the drill bit I shown above in the figure has a displacement laterally also (I mean on the plane of cross section) which prevents me from using direct coordinate transformation.

Re: Torsional response of a node in solidworks simulation
why not output 2 separate sets of results?
