The Envelope Element recorder type records the response of a number of elements at every converged step. The response recorded is element-dependent and also depends on the arguments which are passed to the setResponse() element method. When the object is terminated, through the use of a wipe, exit, or remove the object will output the min, max and absolute max values on 3 seperate lines of the output file for each quantity.

recorder EnvelopeElement <-file $fileName> <-xml $fileName> <-binary $fileName> <-precision $nSD> <-time> <-ele ($ele1 $ele2 ...)> <-eleRange $startEle $endEle> <-region $regTag> $arg1 $arg2 ...

$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)

$nSD number of significant digits (optional, default is 6)
-time (optional using this option places domain time in first entry of each data line, default is to have time ommitted)
$ele1 $ele2 .. tags of elements whose response is being recorded -- selected elements in domain (optional, default: omitted)
$startEle $endEle .. tag for start and end elements whose response is being recorded -- range of selected elements in domain (optional, default: omitted)
$regTag previously-defined tag of region of elements whose response is being recorded -- region of elements in domain (optional)
$arg1 $arg2 ... arguments which are passed to the setResponse() element method


RETURNS

>0 an integer tag that can be used as a handle on the recorder for the remove recorder commmand.

-1 recorder command failed if integer -1 returned.


NOTE:

The setResponse() element method is dependent on the element type, and is described with the Element Command.


EXAMPLE

Example:

recorder Element -file Element1.out -time -ele 1 3 section 1 fiber 0.10 0.10 stressStrain
