3D Corotational formulation

Post by mmasoudi »

Hi,
Could you please let me know the reference for 3D corotational formulation implemented in OpenSees?
The chapter 6 of Bozorgnia's Handbook describes only 2D formulation. I do not have any idea how OpenSees deals which nodal rotations in a 3D space.
