About RealTime Output Commands

Post by ishinabe »

Hello.

I have a question about real-time output commands(nodeDisp, nodeVel..).
These commands will return zero unless there is a recorder command corresponding to value inquired by real-time command.
If possible, I would like to use real-time commands without unnecessary file access by recorder.

Do you have a good idea about this?

Thanks.

They will work by themselves without a corresponding recorder and do not need to access a file. You must be doing something else wrong that makes them return 0.0

Dr.Scott

Thank you for your reply.
I realized my mistake by your advice.
Actually, I have used unsupported command "nodeReact", it performs as I mentioned.
(I found this command in source code.)
I have confirmed that "nodeDisp", "nodeVel", "nodeAccel" work fine without file access.

I'm sorry for my misunderstanding.
