Recorder Error?

[brag006]

Hi,

Just checking what the purpose of this output in NodeRecorder.cpp on line 804

opserr << "NodeRecorder::initialize - numNodes: " << numNodes << endln;

It's coming up in one of my analyses and not sure if it is an 'error' or not

it was a line used for debugging that got left in the code .. i have removed from the source code .. thanks for pointing it out.

On the topic of recorder errors, the newest release (2.4.4) does not record forces for zeroLengthContact2D elements. It just gives zeros. The recorder works fine in 2.4.3. Has anything been purposely changed, or is this a bug in the new release?

Best,
Taylor

it should be recording the forces .. the fact that you are getting 0 and not blanks may indicate there are 0 forces in the element .. if that is the case, question what did change between 2.4.3. and 2.4.4 that now results in 0 forces for your script?

Thank you for your response. I will continue using 2.4.3 for now until I figure out why my forces are all zero. I will post again if the solution is relevant to other users.
