Dear Sylvia, I am trying to simulate a 2D reinforced concrete beam with 1 load in the middle but the recorder doesn't work while the model.dat file I create gives forces and displacements.
# Recorders
recorder Node -file $dataDir/Disp.out -time -node 2 -dof 2 disp ; # displacements of free nodes
recorder Element -file $dataDir/ColForces.out -time -ele 1 "globalForce"; # Beam forces
Can you think of anything wrong?

Hello Silvia, I solved my truble. I try a different opensees ( before 1.7.3) and with 1.6.0 is all OK. I thougth that the 1.7.3 was an opensees modified by mine professor. I have a question about "element recorder" because I need the stress and the strain on the Gauss point on QUAD element to use this results for a postprocessor in GiD.
I used these recorder, but i don't know if it is right for Gaus Point
recorder Element -file ./data/$f1/stress1_g.out -time -eleRange 1 100 material 1 stress
recorder Element -file ./data/$f1/stress2_g.out -time -eleRange 1 100 material 2 stress
recorder Element -file ./data/$f1/stress3_g.out -time -eleRange 1 100 material 3 stress
recorder Element -file ./data/$f1/stress4_g.out -time -eleRange 1 100 material 4 stress
