Modifying Element Recorder

[mja165]

Hi Vesna,

I would like to record the axial strains of a truss element. The default for the recorder is to save the deformations rather than strain. Is there any way I could introduce the truss length as a factor so the axial strains are recorded so I don't have to import them into Matlab and calculate the strain for all elements.

Thanks

no. though you can off course record the strain from the material directly!
