4.2.7.5. ShellNLDKGQ

This command is used to construct a ShellNLDKGQ element object accounting for the geometric nonlinearity of large deformation using the updated Lagrangian formula, which is developed based on the ShellDKGQ element.

element('ShellNLDKGQ', eleTag, *eleNodes, secTag)

eleTag (int)	unique element object tag
eleNodes (list (int))	a list of four element nodes in counter-clockwise order
secTag (int)	tag associated with previously-defined SectionForceDeformation object. currently can be a 'PlateFiberSection', a 'ElasticMembranePlateSection' and a 'LayeredShell' section
