Output integration points for shell elements

Post by Jriera »

I would like to know if there is an output code to display location of the integration Gauss points in shell and beam elements.

I tried:
recorder Element -file $Nameoffile -ele $Numelement integrationPoints

And obtained no output.

Thank you.

try recording something at an integration point, instead of using -file .. try -xml .. the file may contain the info.

otherwise you are going to have to look at the source code.
