element->getResponse() ?

[fabian.gerold]

Hi,
I try to get the moments from ElasticBeam3d elements. I tried the following:

Code: Select all

const char* args = "globalForce";
StandardStream dummy;
Response* theResponse = m_element->setResponse( &args, 1, dummy );
Information &eleInfo = theResponse->getInformation();
const Vector &eleData = eleInfo.getData();
float my1 = eleData(4);
float my2 = eleData(10);

But I always get zero.
What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, that was nonsense. I thought I have to get the forces like an ElementRecorder.
But this seems to work actually:

Code: Select all

const Vector force = m_element->getResistingForce();

float mya = force(0);
float mye = force(5);
