3.1.9.17. HingeEndpoint

beamIntegration('HingeEndpoint', tag, secI, lpI, secJ, lpJ, secE)

Create a HingeEndpoint beamIntegration object. Endpoint integration over each hinge region moves the integration points to the element ends; however, there is a large integration error for linear curvature distributions along the element.

tag |int|	tag of the beam integration.
secI |int|	A previous-defined section object for hinge at I.
lpI float	The plastic hinge length at I.
secJ |int|	A previous-defined section object for hinge at J.
lpJ float	The plastic hinge length at J.
secE |int|	A previous-defined section object for the element interior.

Arguments and examples see HingeMidpoint.
