Incomplete documentation on beam element recorders: force, localForce, globalForce

[ambaker]

Hello,

It is not clear what to do for beam recorders and what the different columns in output are. On the main wiki (https://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/inde ... mn_Element), it states to use the query "force". However, this gives the global force in my experience. Contrary to this, on the old website (https://opensees.berkeley.edu/OpenSees/ ... al/259.htm) it says to use "localForce" or "globalForce".
I was under the impression that "force" was "localForce", but that was in error.

I came to the conclusion that "localForce" is the correct query, and the columns are in the order Axial, Shear, and Moment, with two sets, one for the iNode and one for the jNode.
