some problem exist in beam and shell element due to imposed rotational dof’s and large deformation. However `*Distributing coupling` and `dcoup3d` element seems not to have any problem since only translation allowed.

i’m testing on original example file `distcoup.inp` by activating NLGeom and multiplied loads 100 times.
