Description

INEL2dFRM inelastic 2d frame element with different basic element types
  ELEMRESP = INEL2dFRM (ACTION,EL_NO,XYZ,ELEMDATA,ELEMSTATE)
  response of inelastic 2d frame element with different basic element types
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  When the character variable ACTION has one of the following values,
  the function performs the listed operations and returns the results in ELEMRESP:
  ACTION = 'size': report size of element arrays
           'chec': check element property data for omissions and assign default values
           'defo': report function handle for deformed shape
 
           'init': initialize element history variables
           'forc': report element resisting forces
           'stif': report element stiffness matrix and resisting forces
           'mass': report lumped mass vector and consistent mass matrix
           'post': report post-processing information
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  The data structure ELEMRESP stands for the following data object(s) for each ACTION:
  ELEMRESP = ARSZ        for action = 'size' 
  ELEMRESP = ELEMDATA    for action = 'chec'
  ELEMRESP = FunHandle   for action = 'defo'

  ELEMRESP = ELEMSTATE   for action = 'init'
  ELEMRESP = ELEMSTATE   for action = 'stif'
  ELEMRESP = ELEMSTATE   for action = 'forc'
  ELEMRESP = ELEMMASS    for action = 'mass'
  ELEMRESP = ELEMPOST    for action = 'post'
  ELEMRESP is empty      for unsupported keywords
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  ARSZ   is an Boolean array of size NDF x NEN,
         where NDF = number of DOFs/node, NEN = number of nodes,
         with unit values corresponding to the active element DOFs

  ELEMDATA is a data structure with element property information; it has the fields
         Geom   = character variable for geometric transformation of node variables

         JntOff = rigid joint offsets in global X and Y at element ends;
                  column 1 for node i, column 2 for node j
         HngOff = offset location of plastic hinges as %L (default [0 0])
         NMOpt  = true or false for including or excluding N-M interaction, respectively (false)
         BElemTyp = function name of basic frame element; currently

        SubDivNo  = number of element deformation subdivisions (5)
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  ELEMSTATE is a data structure with the current element state; it has the fields
         u     = vector of total element displacements in global reference

         DDu   = vector of element displacement increments from last iteration
         ke    = element stiffness matrix in global reference; updated under ACTION = 'stif'
         p     = element resisting force vector in global reference; updated under ACTION = 'stif' or 'forc'
         Past  = element history variables at last converged state
         Pres  = current element history variables
