Help regarding nodeDisp command

Post by kesavapraba » Tue Jun 26, 2018 9:33 pm

Dear Friends
Can someone explain to me the output of the runtime command 'nodeDisp'? For example, I typed the following command once my analysis is over:
puts [nodeDisp 121]
then it printed six values for the node 121. Why six values? I wonder that there should only 3 displacements for a node. If the remaining values mean rotation, how can a node have a rotation? Your help is solicited. Thanks
