Discretization

In the FEA, the soil volume to be analyzed is discretized using an arbitrary, but finite number of elements. In RFEM 6, the following 3D elements of the type tetrahedron, pentahedron (prism, pyramid), and hexahedron are implemented for this purpose.

For detailed information about applied elements and matrices, See [1] for details. Corresponding documentation can be requested from Dlubal Software.
