how can I know the load vector?

how can I know the load vector?
Is there any function like nodeCoord for Coordinates to find 'nodeLoad' for loads in the node?

Because 'print node $node' doesn't give me this information

Thanks!

Solved! The point is that I have to locate 'print node $node' after (at least) the first 'analyze'. Then looking at 'unbalanced Load:'

hi
How can I print only reaction of particular node with particular dof?
Say for example, I need to print node 11 only horizontal reaction and then the obtained horizontal reaction I need to multiply with some factor.
Can you please provide some solution for it?
Thanks in advance

You need to use the reaction recorder. Please see the below link for the syntax

recorder Node -file nodesD.out -time -node 1 2 3 4 -dof 1 2 recorder

hi
this recorder am using already. I want the result on the opensees screen by using print command.
By using I get coordinates and everything. But how can i get only reaction?

For the reactions you need to use the following:

recorder Node -file nodesD.out -time -node 1 2 3 4 -dof 1 2 reaction

Can I see the only reaction values on the common prompt i.e., Opensees.exe window?
Thank you

No, the reactions are written in the indicated file. It is nodesD.out in this example.

recorder Node -file nodesD.out -time -node 1 2 3 4 -dof 1 2 recorder
