Global forces recorder

Dear all,

I'm getting as element output the global forces. In 3D analysis, these forces are, of course, 12.
The questions are:
1. Are these forces given in this order: FX, FY, FZ, MX, MY, MZ, being X,Y,Z the global axes?;
2. do the first six refer to the first node and the second six to the 2nd node, in the order I have specified the element?

Thanks!!!

Giacomo

if you are doing a static analysis, this is pseudo time, based on your load pattern.
