Table 1 Reporting data of OUT files

 

     Eigenvector: This is the raw result of the RecurDyn/Solver. Therefore, the eigenvector is defined as the relative coordinate system.

     Absolute Eigenvector: This is the transformed result from the relative coordinate system to the absolute cartesian coordinate system.
