Public Sub New ( 
	_index As Integer,
	_StartingNode As SuperNode,
	_EndingNode As SuperNode,
	_PointInPlaneXY As GeometryXYZ,
	_Material As Material,
	_Section As FrameElementSection,
	_StartingNode_Releases As MemberReleases,
	_EndingNode_Releases As MemberReleases,
	_LumpedMassMatrix As Boolean,
	_ConsiderShearEffect As Boolean
)

Parameters

_index: Type: SystemInt32
Index (must be unique)
_StartingNode: Type: Frame3DSuperNode
Starting node object
_EndingNode: Type: Frame3DSuperNode
Ending node object
_PointInPlaneXY: Type: MathLibGeometryXYZ
A 3d point in global coordinate system that lies on the plane xy of the local system of the element
_Material: Type: Frame3DMaterial
Material object
_Section: Type: Frame3DFrameElementSection
Section object
_StartingNode_Releases: Type: Frame3DMemberReleases
Released dofs of starting node
_EndingNode_Releases: Type: Frame3DMemberReleases
Released dofs of ending node
_LumpedMassMatrix: Type: SystemBoolean
True to create a lumped mass matrix during dynamic analysis
_ConsiderShearEffect: Type: SystemBoolean
True, if shear work will be considered (Timoshenko element)

Remarks

It is used for the placement of the member about its longitudinal axis (x)
