Hi
I want to compute transformation matrix for a flat shell element which has 6-dof per node to convert stiffness matrix from local to global coordinate. does anyone know about this?
hi
Pinched cylinder problem is a benchmark problem (as shown in attached file), I want to solve it by MITC4+ element which is 4node element and has 5-Dofs per node
to calculate the total stiffness matrix, should i compute the stiffness matrix of each element in local coordinate next transform...
