RDV: Importing Opensees and beta version

[Andre Barbosa]

I was wondering how to use the Import tool of OpenSees in the new version to see the attached xml output from an analysis. If I just do import it seems to read in the data, but then I can not visualize the plots.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Andre

Hi Andre, I was able to import the data and view it. I had to increase
the time scale to 20 s (this is the drop down menu on top that default
to 1s) and was able to see all the data. Try this and see if it works.
If this doesn't, can you send me a screenshot of what is shown when
you do try and view a channel.

Also, for some reason RDV things the data set is 20 seconds long. But
looking in the data file, it is only 1 second long. I'll take a look
into this and see why.

Not currently. But this is on the wishlist. RDV is currently oriented
to displaying in absolute times, but an option to display in relative
time (start from 0) would be useful for others too.

I looked at the code and found out why it was doing this, and fixed
the bug. I'll have another pre-release version out early next week
with this fix. I also fixed the import so it will use the nodeTag name
and output type in the channel names. This should make it easier to
find the channels for the node you are interested in.
