element NMB21EL (1) (2) (3) (4) [5]
element NMB21EH (1) (2) (3) (4) [5]
# (1) int, unique element tag
# (2) int, node i
# (3) int, node j
# (4) int, section tag
# [5] bool string, nonlinear geometry switch, default: false

Remarks

Only NM2D* sections are supported. There is no validation of section attached, analysts shall make sure proper sections are used.

The NMB21EL element releases the moment at low node i and the NMB21EH element releases the moment at high node j.

A non-iterative algorithm is used.

Output Type

The NMB21E element additional support recording element deformation and resistance via the BEAME and BEAMS tokens.
