Stress - Strain Recorder does not work

[Araj]

Hello,

The Stress Strain Recorder is not working. When I try to implement it, gives "Debug Error".

Any suggestions in this matter.

Thank you,

lests see the command you are using .. if small enough you can also post the entire script.

Hello,

The scriptI am running is the one presented in the the OpenSees Documentation User Manual "PR1.tcl"

Following is the command as presented in this script:

recorder Element -file $RBbt.out -ele 7 node2BarSlipB stressStrain

recorder Element -file $RBtp.out -ele 7 node2BarSlipT stressStrain

I suspected this recorder has problem because when I try to run this script it says "Debug Error". The interesting part is it still yield results.

However, if I silence this recorder as shown below, the program runs as usual and there is no "Debug Error".

# recorder Element -file $RBbt.out -ele 7 node2BarSlipB stressStrain

# recorder Element -file $RBtp.out -ele 7 node2BarSlipT stressStrain

I hope this will do.

Thanks.
