This work examines the discretizations of finite rotations in the Finite Element Method and Isogeometric Analysis for geometrically exact beam theory. As demonstrated, classical discretization does not achieve optimal convergence behavior. Alternatively, projection-based elements and Gauss-Lobatto elements are explored for beam formulations using directors and quaternions. A formulation based on quaternions proves to be better suited due to its simpler discretization approach.
