Plastic Hinge Rotation
How can I obtain plastic hinge rotation or chord rotation in a nonlinearBeamColumn or in a dispBeamColumn elemnt?
you might have to do that in the post-processing.
there is no specific plastic hinge associated with theses elements, even though the integration weights become like plastic hinges.

Michael Scott answered that question on the board lately, search for it, please.
There is no question of accuracy, the only question is whether it is the quantity that you want -- you have to see how it is defined by the element formulation.
