Description

DINEL2dFRM_EBwDF 2d-frame element with distributed inelasticity (displacement formulation)
  ELEMRESP = DINEL2dFRM_EBwDF (ACTION,EL_NO,XYZ,ELEMDATA,ELEMSTATE)
  function determines the response of 2d frame element with distributed inelasticity for any
           type of section and material under linear and nonlinear geometry;
           displacement formulation with small deformations
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  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 in fields

         w       = uniform element load ( w(1) = longitudinal, w(2) = transverse )
         JntOff  = rigid joint offsets in global X and Y at element ends;
                   column 1 for node i, column 2 for node j
         nIP     = number of integration points
         IntTyp  = function name for element integration
         SecName = function name for section s-e response
         SecData{i} = section property data at integration point i (see function with SecName)
         LdIdx   = load history no for element loading in x-direction

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  ELEMSTATE is a data structure with the current element state; it has the fields
         u     = vector of total element displacements in global reference
         Du    = vector of element displacement increments from last convergence
         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
         lamda = row vector of current load factor(s)

  ELEMPOST is a data structure with element response information for post-processing in fields
