The Node recorder type records the response of a number of nodes at every converged step. The command to create a node recorder is:

recorder Node <-file $fileName> <-xml $fileName> <-binary $fileName> <-tcp $inetAddress $port> <-timeSeries $tsTag> <-time> <-node $node1 $node2 ...> <-nodeRange $startNode $endNode> <-region $regionTag> -dof ($dof1 $dof2 ...) $respType'

$fileName name of file to which output is sent.

file output is either in xml format (-xml option), textual (-file option) or binary (-binary option)

inetAddr ip address, "xx.xx.xx.xx", of remote machine to which data is sent
$port port on remote machine awaiting tcp
-time (optional using this option places domain time in first entry of each data line, default is to have time ommitted)
$tsTag the tag of a previously constructed TimeSeries, results from node at each time step are added to load factor from series
$node1 $node2 .. tags of nodes whose response is being recorded (optional, default: omitted)
$startNode $endNode .. tag for start and end nodes whose response is being recorded (optional, default: omitted)
$regionTag a region tag; to specify all nodes in the previously defined region. (optional)
$dof1 dof2 ... the specified dof at the nodes whose response is requested.
$respType a string indicating response required. Response types are given in table below.
disp displacement*
vel velocity*
accel acceleration*
incrDisp incremental displacement
"eigen i" eigenvector for mode i
reaction nodal reaction

NOTES

  • Only one of -file, -xml, -binary, -tcp will be used. if multiple specified last option is used.
  • -tcp option only available version 2.2.1 and higher.


EXAMPLE

Example:

recorder Node -file nodesD.out -time -node 1 2 3 4 -dof 1 2 disp

recorder Node -file nodesA.out -time -timeSeries 1 -node 1 2 3 4 -dof 1 accel
