Example 1a. 2D Elastic Cantilever Column

Post by IHK »

Hi,

I am redoing the example "Example 1a. 2D Elastic Cantilever Column" provided by the OpenSees manual.
http://opensees.berkeley.edu/OpenSees/m ... L/3295.htm

I am reading the results and when I look at the global force recorder (line 49) I see it provides 7 columns. I understand the first column is the time step, and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th are the forces in the X, Y direction and moment about the Z axis.
What are the other three columns for? Could someone also help me interpret the results and understand what they represent. On which part of the element are the results? Or is this the maximum?

Thank you

Beginner user,

They are the forces at the i and j ends of the column during the time history or pushover (3 at i, 3 at j).
