Element shape check in NX

[christophersrikanth]

I'm relatively new to NX

The results of element shape check in NX are based on the following criteria:

1)Aspect ratio
2)Warp
3)Skew
4)Taper
5)Jacobian ratio
6)Jacobian zero
7)Minimum angle
8)Maximum anle

I would like to know if theere is any theory manual available in NX which gives
an insight into the above criteria or should we be referring to FE texts?

I don't think these shape checks are unique to the NX FEA solver. I'd suggest starting with a good FEA book (I don't have any recommendations off the top of my head).
