This example tests the effect of rigid joint offsets in a diamond-shaped frame. The analytical solution is known, and the test is used to verify the correct treatment of offset geometry in a 3D frame element.

Geometrically nonlinear analysis of a cantilever rolling up under the action of a point moment, performed with shell finite elements.

Several nonlinear static analysis methods are used to investigate instabilities in a shallow arch.
