This command is used to construct a ShellNLDKGT element object accounting for the geometric nonlinearity of large deformation using the updated Lagrangian formula, which is developed based on the ShellDKGT element.


element ShellNLDKGT $eleTag $iNode $jNode $kNode $secTag




$eleTag unique element object tag
$iNode $jNode $kNode three nodes defining element boundaries, input in clockwise or counter-clockwise order around the element.
tag associated with previously-defined SectionForceDeformation object
$secTag currently can be a PlateFiberSection, a ElasticMembranePlateSection and a LayeredShell section
