General Description
Element Type
- This element class provides 3D pentahedral elements
- This element is treated as a de-genrated hexahedral element. It is derived from the SOLIDHEXA1 element class and inherits all features and parameters of the linear hexahedral element. For detailed information, please refer to the hexahedral element
Degrees of Freedom
All hexahedral elements use three translatoric degrees of freedom at each node.
They are named Disp_X, Disp_Y, Disp_Z.
