Hi:
In your online documentation, you have shown the local node numbering
scheme for each element type. For example,
HEX8: 7 6
o--------o
/: /|
/ : / |
4 / : 5 / |
o--------o |
| o....|...o 2
| .3 | /
| . | /
|. |/
o--------o
0 1
TET4:
3
o
/|\
/ | \
/ | \
0 o...|...o 2
\ | /
\ | /
\|/
o
1
However, you have not shown the coordinate axes. I need to know the following:
1) The relationship between the local coordinate system and the local
node numbering scheme. For example, In Hex8 whether the edge 0-1 is
parallel to the local xi or eta axes.
2) The relationship between the physical global coordinate system and
the local coordinate system.
I believe you must already be using some convention for both to be
able to compute the Jacobian of the transformation. It would be very
helpful if you could tell me where I can find this information.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Rahul
