Click Display>Show tables menu or icon to view reporting options. Note that results from nonlinear time history cases not only report displacements, stresses, element forces, etc.and support reactions, they also report joint/point accelerations and velocities, which are often part of the dynamic analysis design criteria. Click the "Modify/Show Options" button in the Select Tables dialogue to select load cases for reporting, results sets reported, and time history reporting options. 

Envelopes report only min/max values. Since time history min/max values in different parts of the model often occur at different time steps, the most realistic results are usually obtained by combining time history cases using the Step-by-Step option shown below.

Result sets apply different code specified design parameters including flexibility factors. In most cases you will want to select Result Set option "All Except Base". The base result set does not include flexibility factors or other design parameters that can affect analysis results.
