Elements
Different element types are presented
Rod I
File rod.k demonstrates wave propagation in one dimension using bar elements.
Rod II
File rodsol.k demonstrates wave propagation in one dimension using solid elements.
Shell I
File shells1.k shows a cantilever beam modeled with shell elements using five integration points through thickness and standard integration rule. See file shells2.k for user-defined integration rule.
Shell II
File shells2.k shows a cantilever beam modeled with shell elements using five integration points through thickness and user-defined integration rule. With this it is possible to use different stiffnesses in the cross-section of the shell.
