What is the difference between relative and absolute acceleration?
ANSWER: The Display > Show Plot Functions menu presents options for either relative or absolute acceleration. Relative acceleration is within the reference frame local to the structure. Absolute acceleration is within a universal reference frame, and is given as the sum of relative acceleration and ground acceleration. The same relative and absolute designations also apply to velocity and displacement.
