+ For column elements: axis 1 and axis 3 are in plane (vertical plane), axis 2 is
normal to vertical plane. Hence, moment 2-2 and shear 3-3 are in vertical plane.
+ For beam elements: axis 1 and axis 2 are in plane (vertical plane), axis 3 is
normal to vertical plane. Hence, moment 3-3 and shear 2-2 are in vertical plane.
+ For Pier element: axis 1 and axis 2 are in plane (vertical plane), axis 3 is normal
to vertical plane. Hence, moment 3-3 and shear 2-2 are in vertical plane.
