Remarks
Three integration schemes are available: "I", "L" and "G".
"I": Five-Point Irons Scheme
"L": 3rd Order Lobatto Scheme
"G": 3rd Order Gauss Scheme
GCMQ
is the full version described in [1] with enhanced strain,SGCMQ
is aPS
like element with no enhanced strain, the direct result of which is less computation is required (less thanCP8R
).
