7.19  Legacy information

This section gives data that is no longer used but is important enough not to be deleted.

7.19.1  Legacy 2D elements

These elements support isotropic and 2-D anisotropic materials declared with a material entry described in m_elastic. Element property declarations are p_solid subtype 2 entries

 [ProId  fe_mat('p_solid','SI',2)  f  N  0]

Integset to zero to select this family of elements.

The xy plane is used with displacement DOFs .01 and .02 given at each node. Element matrix calls are implemented using .c files called by of_mk_subs.c and handled by the element function itself, while load computations are handled by fe_load. For integration rules, see section 7.19.2. The following elements are supported

penta15 surfaces are integrated at 7 Gauss points for a triangular face (see tetra10) and 9 Gauss points for a quadrangular face (see hexa20).

tetra4, tetra10

The tetra4 element is the standard 4 node 12 DOF trilinear isoparametric solid element. tetra10 is the corresponding second order element.

You should be aware that this element can perform very badly (for poor aspect ratio, particular loading conditions, etc.) and that higher order elements should be used instead.

The tetra4 element uses the et*3p1d routines.

tetra4 volumes are integrated at the 4 vertices ωi = 1 /4 for i=1,4 and bi=Si the i-th element vertex.

tetra4 surfaces are integrated at the 3 vertices with ωi = 1 /3 for i=1,3 and bi=Si the i-th vertex of the actual face

The tetra10 element is second order and uses the et*3p2c routines.

tetra10 volumes are integrated at 15 Gauss points
