recorder EnvelopeNode -file EnvelopeNode.out -time -node 3 -disp

recorder Element -file Ele.out -time -ele 1 10 localForce


these two command got nothing in the file, how shoud fix it?

[silvia]

please post your script so I can check it out, and which version are you using?

[cctvcctv]

the following is related to my question, and

recorder Element -file Ele.out -time -ele 1 localForce

I got time and another 12 columns in file ele.out, and what is the meanings of each column? are they disp, force seperately?

I am using the most recent Opensees. 1.6.2 a

Thanks a lot!

i presume you have 3 dimensions and 6 dof's per node:

time FxI FyI FzI MxI MyI MzI FxJ FyJ FzJ MxJ MyJ MzJ

the three forces and three moments at each node, that's what you wanted, right?

[cctvcctv]

I added the beginning in the second post.

And I use 1.6.2.a


I have another script with Isolators, and still under construction.

[silvia]

okey, but you have resolved the current problem???

[cctvcctv]

no, not solve the problem of recorder envelope yet

[silvia]

just for this version, i believe, try to remove the -time command from the envelope recorder!
