HI
What is deformations in below command :
recorder Element -file ele7sec1Defo.out -ele 7 section 1 deformation
is it rotation (rad) or something else? I am looking for end beam and column element total rotation(plastic and elastic) in rad.
i used nonlinearBeamColumn element for distributed plasticity.

it depends on the secion you created .. if fiber2d it wil be axial and curvature
