How to record bending moment in a column

Post by mahipal » Tue Nov 01, 2022 8:12 pm

Hi
I am analyzing a 2D RC frame under some lateral load. I want to record the shear force and bending moment (at both ends and 4 integration points) for a column on which the lateral UDL is applied. I have defined the recorders as follows:

recorder Element -file $dataDir/Moment1011sec3.out -time -ele 1011 section $np moment;
recorder Element -file $dataDir/Force1011sec3.out -time -ele 1011 section $np force;


But the moment recorder is not recording any response. And how we can record the shear force and bending moment at both ends of columns?

Thank you for your time.
