EnvelopeNode Recorder

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
