Thirty-Two Nodes Hexahedronal Element Subroutine for Multi-Purpose Program MEF.

Abstract

A general finite element program of moderate complexity called MEF is organized to contain a library of one, two, and three dimensional elements for the solution of problems from a wide variety of diciplines. A cubic, thirty two node, three dimensional isoparametric element was developed. With such an element very complex structures could be solved with a very course mesh. Keywords: Theses; Consistent Load Vector; Computer Program; Finite Element; Intergration Points; Jacobian Matrix; Reference Element; Shape Function.
