2.1 Preamble
-
Any structure can theoretically be analyzed on the basis of a discretization into three-dimensional elements. As an example, consider figure 7 , a tube embedded at one end and subjected to a point force F at the other. Let's create the volume discretization shown in figure 7 . This mesh has 216 volume elements and 360 nodes. At each node, there are three unknowns: the three components of the displacement vector....
