Nodal Time History and Information

Repeat for each output history. N=1, NDOUT

1-5    Node, constraint or function type  number (IDHIST(1,N))


6-10 		Component flag (IDHIST(2,N))


Digit 1, component number


Digit 2, starting array index


11-15 		Kinematic quantity flag number (IDHIST(3,N)), depends on the system type:


Structure or Soil system      Fluid or FSurf system


EQ.1, Displacement 		 Nodal coordinate


EQ.2, Velocity 		 $\phi$
or h


EQ.3, Acceleration 		 $\dot{\phi}$
or $\dot{h}$


EQ.4, Force or Reaction if the DOF is restrained 

EQ.5, Constraint Force 

EQ.6, Function


16-20 		Sequence start node (IDHIST(3,N))


21-25 		Sequence end node (IDHIST(4,N))


26-30 		Sequence node increment (IDHIST(5,N))


31-35 		The node on which the moment is taken around(IDHIST(5,N))
The available functions are

EQ.1,                        Overturning moment due to reactions


EQ.2, 		 Overturning moment due to constraints


EQ.3, 		 Base shear due to reactions


EQ.4, 		 Base Shear due to constraints


EQ.5, 		 Uplift length due to contact constraints 

EQ.6, 		 Uplift length due to tensionless elastic foundation


EQ.7, 		 Overturning moment due to tensionless elastic foundation


EQ.8, 		 Vertical reaction due to tensionless elastic foundation


EQ.9, 		 Ratio of contact area to total area due to tensionless foundation
