MPCO recorder using custom OpenSees.exe

[Luca_Par]

Hello,
I would like to use the MPCO recorder in my own compiled version of OpenSees, but when I do, the TCL command gets rejected. I read online that the recorder has been temporarily removed from the source code and will be reimplemented in the future.
Anyway, I'd ask if there's a way to add it in my own custom build, so that I could still use STKO to form input files and to visualize the results in the postprocessor.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Luca,

Unfortunately the mpco recorder has been commented out for a version conflict of the HDF5 library, in the latest source code of opensees. If you want to use it we suggest you use the compiled version kindly provided by prof. Nicola Tarque at this link,

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ETGQ3Y ... 5Mk7C/view

which does include all STKO plugins and the mpco recorder class.

If you have additions or modifications that you made to the source code we suggest you recompile it using a previous version with the mpco recorder in it. You can check out the issue here https://github.com/OpenSees/OpenSees/pull/601.
And the brach of Dr. Petracca here https://github.com/MassimoPetracca/Open ... corder-tcl

Hope this helps.

Your answer was really useful, thanks to you I was able to retrieve the MPCO recorder on my own version of the executable through Petracca's GitHub page.

Thanks again, have a nice day!
