Link Element Stiffness Matrix

Hi,

It has been mentioned that ""only the transverse and rotational degrees of freedom are coupled"" in the TwoNodeLink Element (as long as the element has non-zero length).

Do you mean the formulation of the element is in such a way that couples off-diagonal components of <<all>> shear and moment DOFs together?

Could you tell me what is the general form of element stiffness matrix?

Thanks in advance,
Aryan
