i use the Elastic Beam Column Element to build a portal frame,and do a Transient Analysis.but i find i can't record the section's deformation of element?how can i record the information of section?

Use a nonlinear beam column element (beamWithHinges, nonlinearBeamColumn, dispBeamColumn etc.) with an elastic section if you want to monitor the section forces&deformations. elasticBeamColumn element does not have any sections...
