Units of recorders for displacement

[jovillarroelb]

Hi everyone!

I have a 3D model with "N, mm and sec" as fundamental units and It has the 6 dof. When I ask for the displacements I have an output file with 6 colums and I'm assuming that it gives the results in global coordinates, wich means: displ. in X [mm], displ. in Y [mm], displ. in Z [mm] and the other 3 I don't know if they are displacement relative to a distance, a rotation or what and in what units are the values.

I'm trying to plot the Moment-Curvature points of my time history analysis into the M-Curvature diagram I've made and I wonder: Are these last three columns (recorder) the curvature of the element in the three directions? Can I use them for my task?

Thanks in advance!

assuming a 3d structural beam model: then there are 3 translational and 3 rotational dof: dX, dY, dZ, rX, rY and rZ
the rotations are in radians.
