Dear STKOteam,

I would like to use a node recorder and an element recorder to output the desired results for a multiple-stage analysis.

However, it seems the results can only be recorded stage by stage with many files. Is there any way to output all stages' data into one file?

By the way, I tried to record a node's global force which a local axis is assigned to, but I filled. Do I only output local force when I set the local axis?

Looking forward to your reply!

Ok, fine.

It seems just putting the node recorder command before the first analysis command makes sense.

MPCO recorder puts all stage results into its database (files can be one or many based on the partitions). You can extract all the stage results into a chart or as data using STKO post-processor

Global or local forces should be recorded for elements not for nodes.

Thanks for your reply!

I misdescribed it. It's for the element. So, do I only output local force when I set the local axis?

Yes, you can see the results in local coordinate system only enabling localforce option in MPCO recorder.

Thanks for your reply!
Best wishes!
