Ask abput the meaning of the recorder

[khunglongkhelua]

Dear vesna and fmk

I am reading the "Calibration of Maxwell Material" example - http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... brator.tcl - and I don't understand about this code, can you explain it to me:

recorder Element -file Maxwell_Calibrator/Displacement.out -time -ele 1 section 3 fiber 0.1 0.1 stressStrain

What is a section 3 and fiber 0.1 0.1.

Thanks a lot.

Section located at the 3rd integration point along the force based beam-column element (the 1st section is at node i) is the section 3.

0.1 0.1 represents the location of a fiber in local y and z axes.
