beamIntegration
('HingeEndpoint', tag, secI, lpI, secJ, lpJ, secE) Create a HingeEndpoint beamIntegration object. Endpoint integration over each hinge region moves the integration points to the element ends; however, there is a large integration error for linear curvature distributions along the element.
tag
(int)tag of the beam integration. secI
(int)A previous-defined section object for hinge at I. lpI
(float)The plastic hinge length at I. secJ
(int)A previous-defined section object for hinge at J. lpJ
(float)The plastic hinge length at J. secE
(int)A previous-defined section object for the element interior. Arguments and examples see HingeMidpoint.
