Expand description
Shape functions and reference derivatives of the 3-node triangle (natural
coordinates xi, eta on the unit triangle) and the 4-node quadrilateral
(xi, eta in [-1, 1]). Node order is counter-clockwise; quad node k
sits at the reference corner QUAD4_CORNERS[k].
Constants§
- QUAD4_
CORNERS - Reference corners of the bilinear quadrilateral, in node order.
Functions§
- quad4_
