Does anybody know what are the columns in the output of an element Plasticrotation recorder for 3D nonlinear beam-columns?
There are 7 columns, the only obvious one being the first (time).

Here are the columns:
1 - time
2 - plastic axial deformation
3 - plastic rotation about local z-axis at end I
4 - same as 3, but at end J
5 - plastic rotation about local y-axis at end I
6 - same as 5, but at end J
7 - plastic torsional deformation

i might as well ask this question:
how do you define the plastic rotation?
