Finite ElementsΒΆ

There are several finite elements available in library. Each finite element does provide stiffness, mass and damp matrices. Their difference with special elements is that normal elements does provide stiffness, mass and damp matrices and usually have material, geometrical properties (like section on thickness). Finite elements are inherited from BriefFiniteElement.Elements.Element class.

Overview of Finite Elements available:

  • BarElement: A 1D, 2 noded element

  • TriangleElement: A 2D, 3 noded element

  • TetrahedronElement: A 3D, 4 noded element
