Element recorder, section forces and deformation
hello everyone.
I'm trying to read the Moment-rotation of a 3D fiber model. I have used forceBeamColumn element. when I'm putting a force and deformation recorder for the first integration point, the outputs consist of 4 columns output for each of them(force and deformation). does anybody know which one is related to which degree of freedom. in the site it just says
section:
force Fx Mx
deformation axial-strain curvature
somehow I'm sure the first one is related to the axial force and displacement. for me the 4th one is zero.
I'm trying to assess the P-M-M effect on the columns.
Many thanks for your help.

If you use the xml option (<-xml $fileName>), you can see the headers for each column
Re: Element recorder, section forces and deformation
so helpful. Thank you so much. do you know what is KappaZ and kappaY. are they rotation about Z and Y local axis?

Yes they should be the curvatures
