Intermittent Recorders
It would be nice if the recorders could be set to only record every "n steps".
If OpenSees does not have an internal step counter, providing an option to base it on time would be a good options as well.
Thanks,

It doesn't work for all recorders. I couldn't use it myself resulted in huge size output files. It doesn't matter if you run analyses couple of times. But when you have to analyze a large 3-D frame say 1000 times, then it will get annoying.
I appreciate if you could do something for all recorders.
