some problems

Hello!

I noticed some interesting problems.

1. I executed the same scripts in two computer with same OpenSees version.
Displacements is plotted in windows with code.

Code: Select all

recorder plot PierNode-1_$idaSa-E$earthquake.out Node_25_Xdisp 10 100 800 300 -columns 1 26 -dT 0.01
recorder display DynamicColumn 10 410 500 300 -wipe 
prp 100 100 120.5 
vup 0 0 1 
display 1 1 1

you do other operations and then select the displacement windows again.
The displacement curve will refresh and display normally in a computer and not so in the other computer.
Is it a bug of OpenSees?

2. When I compute with Opensees, it just employs about 50% system capability in a computer. But it can employ all system capability in other computer. I use windows task manager to check occupating coefficient of CPU.

Certainly, it hasn't any influence on computation. I just want to know WHY.
