how to decrease the output result file

Post by quhui »

Dear silvia:

I am using opensees to simulate CFST joint under cyclic horizontal load. Now, my result file is very large, so I try modifying the recorder command to decreasing it. The command I modified as follows:

the first, recorder Node $fName.out 0.01 disp -load -node 10 -dof 1

but opensees gave me an error.

the second, recorder Node $fName.out disp 0.01 -load -node 10 -dof 1

Opensees run this time, but the result file was empty!

I use version 1.7.2, is the problem of version or something else?

would you like give me an example?

many thanks!

expecting your reply, and thank you for your attention!

I think you should follow Frank's suggestion to use " -dT $value" argument after the filename:


recorder Node -file Rnode.out -dT 0.01 -time -node 1 3 5 -dof 1 2 reaction

this should work, please let me know if it doesn't.
