Parameters

name  String
Name of the hinge
checkType  String
Name of the check to be applied - use "Concrete_EC" or "Concrete_NTC" for concrete beams, "Steel_Hinge_EC3" for steel, "Aluminium_Hinge_EC9" for aluminium alloy, or national/custom rules
position  Int32
Position in percentage of beam length (0 or 100)

True to include torsion as hinge DoF
cKpl  Double  (Optional)
Ratio for plastic branch stiffness over elastic stiffness
FresRatio  Double  (Optional)
Residual force after failure, ratio with yielding
