◆ ComputeInternalForces()

void chrono::fea::ChElementHexaCorot_8::ComputeInternalForces ( ChVectorDynamic<> &  Fi)
overridevirtual

Computes the internal forces (ex.

the actual position of nodes is not in relaxed reference position) and set values in the Fi vector.

Puts inside 'Jacobian' and 'J1' the Jacobian matrix and the shape functions derivatives matrix of the element.

The vector "coord" contains the natural coordinates of the integration point. in case of hexahedral elements natural coords vary in the classical range -1 ... +1.
