Tracking x,y,z coordinates during prescribed rotation

I am using an imported mesh (surface and volume) of a total knee replacement and am using a rigid body prescribed rotation on the part. I am rotating the knee around the x-axis to simulate flexion. The way that I have the part aligned the lowest point of "contact' would be in the z-axis. And so I would like to track the lowest point of contact on that surface (lowest z-coordinate) throughout the flexion.
My rotation is a time dependent study and so each second of the study correlates to one degree of rotation.
Do you know how I could track the x,y,z coordinate of that lowest z-coordinate for each degree of flexion?
Thanks for help in advance.
