incrDisp recorder

[giovannimilan]

Hi all,

In using the incrDisp recorder, to be used later for the structure's energy calculation, by multiplying it with force history.

However, I just get a series of zeros for any node of my structure i pick. can't find a way out. I am wondering if it is interacting with any other command, for some reasons.

here is the command (i am using version 2.5.0):

recorder Node -file Sin_Signal/incr_disp.out -time -node 6 -dof 1 incrDisp; # translational dof of the top node of the structure

actually I ve tried with "IncrDisp" "capital i" instead of "small i", and getting not zeros but just a constant repetition of 2 values.

is any of you familiar with this command?

PS: getting the same issue with rayleighForces"

I haven't used that recorder before. Can you use the regular disp recorder and compute the increments by post-processing?
