element ShellDKGQ $eleTag $iNode $jNode $kNode $lNode $secTag




$eleTag unique element object tag
$iNode $jNode $kNode $lNode four nodes defining element boundaries, input in clockwise or counter-clockwise order around the element.
$secTag tag associated with previously-defined SectionForceDeformation object.

Currently can be a PlateFiberSection, a ElasticMembranePlateSection and a LayeredShell section
