State#
The following methods are used to retrieve information about a solution after an analysis has been performed. Global methods pertain to assembled quantities like the residual and stiffness matrix, while Nodal methods can be used to get quantities at specific nodes.
State information may generally be obtained by three approaches:
The simplest approach is to invoke a response method on a
xara.Modelobject.A Recorder object writes state information to a file during an analysis.
A Response object avoids repeated memory allocations and is more efficient for repeated queries.
The response methods and recorders are inherited from OpenSees, while the response classes are a feature of 𝜒ara.
