Element performance and shape sensitivity
Basic element tests:
- single element completeness tests for membranes
- patch test for an assemblage of membrane elements
- false zero energy mode tests for membrane elements
- invariance tests for membrane elements
- shape sensitivity tests for membrane elements
- single element completeness tests for plate elements
- patch test for an assemblage of plate bending elements
- false zero energy mode tests for plate elements
- invariance tests for plate elements
- shape sensitivity tests for plate elements
2D single element tests:
- 8 node plane stress element, skew parallelopiped, constant moment
- 8 node plane stress element, one side curved outwards, constant moment
- 6 node plane stress element, one side curved outwards, constant moment
- 6 node plane stress element, one side curved inwards, linear moment
- 8 node plane stress element, skewed and stretched, constant moment
