4.2.7.9. Enhanced Strain Quadrilateral ElementΒΆ
This command is used to construct a four-node quadrilateral element, which uses a bilinear isoparametric formulation with enhanced strain modes.
- element('enhancedQuad', eleTag, *eleNodes, thick, type, matTag)
eleTag
(int)unique element object tag
a list of four element nodes in counter-clockwise order
thick
(float)element thickness
type
(str)string representing material behavior. Valid options depend on the NDMaterial object and its available material formulations. The type parameter can be either
'PlaneStrain'
or'PlaneStress'
matTag
(int)tag of nDMaterial
