Large LIST OF NODES to record

[ymerino]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to record node displacements in a large 3D model, so I used:

op.recorder('Node', '-file','nodeICols.txt', '-time', '-node', 878,884,...,891, '-dof', 1, 'disp')

It works, but it was neccesary to write a large number of node tags
So I tried:

>> op.recorder ( 'Node' , '-file' , 'nodeICols.txt' , '-time' , '-node' , list ((colNodes[:,0])) , '-dof' , 1, 'disp')

Where 'colNodes' is a connectivity array with 1500 lines, roughly. I tried with strings, arrays, lists, etc.

IT DID NOT WORK , have you ever had a problem like this ??

Thanks!

You can put the nodes in a list, e.g., colNodes = [878,884,...,891] then use *colNodes in the recorder command

ops.recorder('Node','-file',...,'-node',*colNodes,...)

Thanks Dr! It didn't work in that exact way, but it helped me so much to find the solution!

Now I'm having the same problem in OpenSees tcl

I'm trying to record so many node responses using a list in tcl, but it doesn't recognize it:

# -------------------------------------------------
set colNod_I {}
set colNod_J {}
foreach i1 $colC { # $colC is a file with columns connectivity
set rows1 [split $i1]
lassign $rows1 \
cName ptIc ptJc
lappend colNod_I [expr int($ptIc)]
lappend colNod_J [expr int($ptJc)]
}

recorder Node -file colNod_I_1.txt -time -node $colNod_I -dof 1 disp
# -------------------------------------------------

Do you have any idea of what's going on?

Thanks a lot!
