recorder at a certain value of deformation

Post by sisa »

Hello!
I'm doing an analysis of an RC frame. In order to see which and when the columns go to failure I would like to know when the concrete reach the ultimate deformation I've assigned to it. In order to do this I record the stressStrain of the ultimate fiber of each column and I see for which moment the concrete reaches its ultimate deformation. I would ask you if there is another method to do this. For example there would be a way to recorder directly the moment value of a section when a certain fiber reaches the value I assigned?
thank you

As of now there is no such recorder. You will have to do it manually.
