(Thanks Silvia for your answer about distributed loads, it was right!)

Hi all!
How can I know the value of force quantity in internal section of elastic elements (element elasticBeamColumn...)?
Thank you.

I think you have to interpolate youself, as it does not have sections associated with it, it is linear-elastic.
that's why I recommend using a nonlinear bc element with an elastic section.
