◆ ComputeInternalForces()

void chrono::fea::ChElementTetraCorot_4::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.

Implements chrono::fea::ChElementBase.

◆ ComputeKRMmatricesGlobal()

void chrono::fea::ChElementTetraCorot_4::ComputeKRMmatricesGlobal ( ChMatrixRef  H,
double  Kfactor,
double  Rfactor = 0,
double  Mfactor = 0

overridevirtual

Sets H as the global stiffness matrix K, scaled by Kfactor.

Optionally, also superimposes global damping matrix R, scaled by Rfactor, and global mass matrix M multiplied by Mfactor.

Implements chrono::fea::ChElementBase.

Vparametric coordinate in volume
Wparametric coordinate in volume
QiReturn result of N'*F here, maybe with offset block_offset
detJReturn det[J] here

◆ GetNodeNumCoordsPosLevel()

virtual unsigned int chrono::fea::ChElementTetraCorot_4::GetNodeNumCoordsPosLevel ( unsigned int  n)
inlineoverridevirtual

Get the number of coordinates from the specified node that are used by this element.

Note that this may be different from the value returned by GetNode(n)->GetNumCoordsVelLevel().

Implements chrono::fea::ChElementBase.

◆ GetNumCoordsPosLevel()

virtual unsigned int chrono::fea::ChElementTetraCorot_4::GetNumCoordsPosLevel ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Get the number of coordinates in the field used by the referenced nodes.

This is for example the size (number of rows/columns) of the local stiffness matrix.

Implements chrono::fea::ChElementBase.

◆ GetStateBlock()

void chrono::fea::ChElementTetraCorot_4::GetStateBlock ( ChVectorDynamic<> &  mD)
overridevirtual

Fills the D vector (displacement) with the current field values at the nodes of the element, with proper ordering.

If the D vector has not the size of this->GetNumCoordsPosLevel(), it will be resized.For corotational elements, field is assumed in local reference!

Implements chrono::fea::ChElementBase.

◆ GetStrain()

ChStrainTensor chrono::fea::ChElementTetraCorot_4::GetStrain ( )

Returns the strain tensor (note that the tetrahedron 4 nodes is a linear element, thus the strain is constant in the entire volume).

The tensor is in the original undeformed unrotated reference.

◆ GetStress()

ChStressTensor chrono::fea::ChElementTetraCorot_4::GetStress ( )

Returns the stress tensor (note that the tetrahedron 4 nodes is a linear element, thus the stress is constant in the entire volume).

The tensor is in the original undeformed unrotated reference.

◆ ShapeFunctions()

void chrono::fea::ChElementTetraCorot_4::ShapeFunctions ( ShapeVector &  N,
double  r,
double  s,
double  t 
)

Fills the N shape function matrix with the values of shape functions at r,s,t 'volume' coordinates, where r=1 at 2nd vertex, s=1 at 3rd, t = 1 at 4th.

All ranging in [0...1]. The last (u, u=1 at 1st vertex) is computed form the first 3 as 1.0-r-s-t. NOTE! actually N should be a 3row, 12 column sparse matrix, as N = [n1*eye(3) n2*eye(3) n3*eye(3) n4*eye(3)]; , but to avoid wasting zero and repeated elements, here it stores only the n1 n2 n3 n4 values in a 1 row, 4 columns matrix.
