# (1) int, unique element tag
# (2) int, node i
# (3) int, node j
# (4) double, elastic modulus, E
# (5) double, shear modulus, G
# (6) double, area, A
# (7) double, major/strong axis moment of inertia, I_z

# (11) int, orientation tag
# [12] bool, nonlinear geometry switch, default: false

Remarks

1. Please check orientation for its definition, for example, B3DOSL and B3DOSC.
2. To use the corotational formulation for nonlinearity, please attach a corotational formulation enabled orientation.
