This command is used to construct a ShellMITC4 element object, which uses a bilinear isoparametric formulation in combination with a modified shear interpolation to improve thin-plate bending performance.
| element ShellMITC4 $eleTag $iNode $jNode $kNode $lNode $secTag |
| $eleTag | unique element object tag |
| $iNode $jNode $kNode $lNode | four nodes defining element boundaries, input in counter-clockwise order around the element. |
| $secTag | tag associated with previously-defined SectionForceDeformation object.
Currently must be either a PlateFiberSection, or ElasticMembranePlateSection |
NOTE:
- The valid queries to a Quad element when creating an ElementRecorder object are 'forces', 'stresses,' and 'material $matNum matArg1 matArg2 ...' Where $matNum refers to the material object at the integration point corresponding to the node numbers in the isoparametric domain.
