Node Recorder
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
