Output

[Polatoglou]

I cannot understand what does any of the number of the output represent.
To be specific,

I write " recorder Element -file output/force5001.txt -ele 5001 localForce "
and I get as a result " 25.1799 -0.104985 -0.0582719 -0.000863917 -0.0871452 -0.131072 -24.0999 0.104985 0.0582719 0.000863917 0.0172188 0.00508997

Could you tell me what does each column in all the previous recorder cases represent?

[vesna]

To get to know what is the meaning of your recorder outputs save them in -xml format rather than in -file format.

[Polatoglou]

Thank you very much Vesna!
Now I can understand the outputs I have.
Could you tell me what do eps,KappaZ,KappaY,theta represent?

[vesna]

eps is the axial strain
kappaZ is the curvaturi in Z
kappaY is survature in Y
theta can be shear or torsion deformation (whatever you assigned to your section)
