question about block3d

Post by youyicun2008 » Mon Apr 27, 2009 5:43 am

hi,everyone.I am a new guy studying opensees.
there are several questions about opensees .
I study the example of Solid-Fluid Fully Coupled elements,using the block3d to mesh
the model.
but,uh, there are two question,
1 how to define the nodes of the new model meshing by "block3d"?
2 After that,there are several elements ,if I want to 'recorder' the data of the
element, like this "eval "recorder Element -ele 1 -time -file PRESS6_2_2.out -dT
0.01 material 6 pressure",how to do this ? maybe this is the same question as the
question 1, firstly how to define the elements?define by myself,or following the
opensees results,but how to do this?how does the nodes and elements define of?

thx very much! :P
