Post by carlota »

dear,
I use the " recorder Element - the file $dataDir/ElementDeformation49. Out 49 section 1 - ele deformation " to output section deformation, why there are four column data? What do they stand for?

Please help me. :?

Apply simple loadings on a cantilever with elastic materials in order to figure out what each column represents.

Dear Professor, I made a simple test with elastic element of elastic material, but there was no output result. With fiber section, it is the same as mine. Is there any other method?

Use fiber sections with elastic uniaxial materials
