The Node type records the envelope of displacement, velocity, acceleration and incremental displacement at the nodes (translational & rotational). The envelope consists of the following: minimum, maximum and maximum absolute value of specified response type.
recorder EnvelopeNode <-file $fileName> <-node ($node1 $node2 ...)> <-nodeRange $startNode $endNode> <-region $RegionTag> <-node all> -dof ($dof1 $dof2 ...) $respType
$fileName |
file where results are stored. Each line of the file contains the result for a committed state of the domain (optional, default: screen output) |
|
$node1 $node2 ... |
where response is being recorded -- select nodes (optional, default: all) |
|
$startNode $endNode |
tag for start and end where response is being recorded (optional, default: all) |
|
$RegionTag |
tag for previously-defined selection of nodes defined using the Region command. (optional) |
|
all |
where response is being recorded -- all nodes in domain (optional & default) |
|
$dof1 $dof2 ... |
degrees of freedom of response being recorded. Valid range is from 1 through ndf , the number of nodal degrees-of-freedom. |
|
$respType |
defines response type to be recorded. The following response types are available: |
|
|
disp |
displacement |
|
vel |
velocity |
|
accel |
acceleration |
|
incrDisp |
incremental displacement |
NOTE: $respType must be the last argument in this command.
Example:
recorder EnvelopeNode -file EnvelopeNode.out –time –node 1 5 -nodeRange 10 25 -dof 2 disp
