beamIntegration('UserHinge', tag, secETag, npL, *secsLTags, *locsL, *wtsL, npR, *secsRTags, *locsR, *wtsR)

Create a UserHinge beamIntegration object.

`tag` (int)	tag of the beam integration
`secETag` (int)	A previous-defined section objects for non-hinge area.
`npL` (int)	number of integration points along the left hinge.
`secsLTags` (list (int))	A list of previous-defined section objects for left hinge area.
`locsL` (list (float))	A list of locations of integration points for left hinge area.
`wtsL` (list (float))	A list of weights of integration points for left hinge area.
`npR` (int)	number of integration points along the right hinge.
`secsRTags` (list (int))	A list of previous-defined section objects for right hinge area.
`locsR` (list (float))	A list of locations of integration points for right hinge area.
`wtsR` (list (float))	A list of weights of integration points for right hinge area.
