Response Spectra Code

[sugandha]

Hi,

I have written a code to obtain response spectra for a 9DoF system. However, I am having a problem with the recorder command. I can't extract the information from the recorder file to another file at every loop because the recorder file does not get updated until the analysis is finished and we close the OpenSees interface. I have tried various things in order to extract absolute maximum displacement from recorder file at every loop but nothing worked. Here is a list of commands I have already tried:
1. Include -closeOnWrite tag in the recorder command.
2. Used logFile command to append the recorder file.

Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks,
Sugandha

Dear Friend
Did you try using real time output commands, like nodeDisp, eleResponse etc.?

Thank you very much. That worked out with a loop for analysis.
