Plain handler

Hello, all

I used 'equalDOF' using OpenSeesSP.
The constraints is used by Plain.

Then, I got the message following like:

WARNING PlainHandler::handle() - constraint at dof 4 already specified for constrained node in MP_Constraint at node 170400

Is the reason that I used 'Plain constraints'?

is node 170400 involved in a constraiint already?

I used that node (170400) using 'equalDOF' to connect another node at the same location.

There is another question about 'recorder'.

I am using OpenSeesSP for my model.

I used recorder command of 'recorder file -xml bridge_nodes.txt...'.,

However, as I ran my scripts,
I got responses associated with some of nodes which I am interested in.
(e.g. I want to get results from nodes of 1,2,3,4,..10, however, I just got it from 2,3 nodes)

Or, I got nothing from that run.

Do you know how to get all responses?

Or, is there a way I can control the recorder?

- Here is my guess.

I just guess that the main run would be terminated before other runs are finished.
then, the outfile could not collect the information from other computation.

on the destruction of the recorders the processes do some sends & recvs on the data in the files .. can you try issuing the command remove recorders before the end of your script to see if the problem still occurs.

I don't understand very well.

What you mean is..
to put the command out not to work the recorder.
then see how it is going on?

If I put the command there,
how can I check whether or not the recorder files will collect information?

no .. put the command remove recorders on the last line of your script.

Is the command remove recorder
exactly "remove recorder"?

I can not look it up on the manual.

no .. it is "remove recorders"

As you recommended, I put the "remove recorders" in the end of my scripts.

However, I still got some lack of output.

(From 3000 steps, I just got results of 243 steps.)

The node 170400 is also involved in the constraint. I have used this node many times.

The term 'recorder' was what I wanted to know and thanks for the details you have shared here. I am also using OpenSeesSP, but never had to use the option recorder. Thanks for sharing.
