This element is similar to the B32 beam element except that it cannot sustain bending. This is obtained by inserting hinges in each end node of the element. Apart from this all what is said about the B32 element also applies to the T3D3 element with one exception: instead of the *BEAM SECTION card the *SOLID SECTION card has to be used.
