This element is similar to the B31 beam element except that it cannot sustain bending. This is obtained by inserting hinges in each node of the element. Apart from this all what is said about the B31 element also applies to the T3D2 element with one exception: instead of the *BEAM SECTION card the *SOLID SECTION card has to be used.
