# EleResponse Command

This command is used to obtain the same element quantities as those obtained from the element recorder at a particular time step.

```tcl eleResponse $eleTag $arg1 $arg2 ```

eleTag

integer tag identifying element

$arg1, $arg2

same arguments as those specified in element recorder. These arguments are specific to the type of element being used.

## Examples

For a simple truss example if these are the recorder commands used:

```tcl recorder Element -time -ele 1 2 3 -file a.out axialForce

recorder Element -time -ele 1 2 3 -file b.out material stress ```

then these are the corresponding eleResponse commands

```tcl set a [eleResponse 1 forces]

set b [eleResponse 1 material stress] ```
