MINI element?
« on: October 02, 2013, 08:23:01 AM »
Hi,

I checked a little the FEAP code but still want to confirm with you. Does FEAP have this type of MINI element -- displacement is discretized as the sum of regular (linear) shape functions * regular DOFs + a bubble funtion * interior additional DOFs?

There is currently no MINI element in feap.  You would need to write a user element to implement it.
