ShellNLDKGT
===========

This command is used to construct a ShellNLDKGT element object accounting for the geometric nonlinearity of large deformation using the updated Lagrangian formula, which is developed based on the ShellDKGT element.

   ===================================   ===========================================================================
   ``eleTag`` |int|                      unique element object tag
   ``eleNodes`` |listi|                  a list of three element nodes in clockwise or counter-clockwise order around the element
   ``secTag`` |int|                      tag associated with previously-defined SectionForceDeformation object. currently can be a ``'PlateFiberSection'``, a ``'ElasticMembranePlateSection'`` and a ``'LayeredShell'`` section
