Output sim data at all nodes
Hi —
Is it possible to output timeseries sensor values (forces, deflections, accelerations, strains, etc.) at all structural nodes rather than having to create dozens (or hundreds) of user-defined sensors, one at each node?
Thanks!

Hello Alex,
its not possible to automatically place sensors at all joints, or to place a sensor on a single joint.
The sensors are rather placed on a member at a custom position (e.g. SUB_6_0.5 places a node at the center of member 6) or on a constraint (CST keyword).
When a large number of sensors is required they can be generated very quickly in a spreadsheet tool and then copy/pasted into the QBlade input file.
BR,
David
