Hello,
I have a question about zeroLength element. I think it is quite simple but I haven't gotten the idea yet. That is since it is zero length, how was it integrated to displacement from given strain? I will be very greatful if simeone could help me.

you woudn't be defining a stress-strain relationship, you'd be defining a force-deformation relationship.
