# Results

The result outputs are created with the use of **MPCO** recorder developed by [ASDEA Software Technology](https://asdeasoft.net/?product-stko).

The **MPCO** recorder in **OpenSees** is a tool that allows users to record the values of response parameters during a simulation and to extract these values for post-processing and analysis. The **MPCO** recorder can be used to record the response of a structure at various points during the simulation, such as the displacement, velocity, and acceleration of specific nodes. This information can be used to study the behavior of a structure over time, to evaluate the effectiveness of different control strategies, or to analyze the response of a structure under different loading conditions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://alpaca4d.gitbook.io/docs/basics/results.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
