CP8
Second Order Quadrilateral
Number of Nodes: 8
Number of DoFs: 2 (Translation, Translation)
Integration Scheme: 2nd Order Irons (Full) or 2nd Order Gauss (Reduced)
Supports Body Force
Constant Consistent Mass Matrix With Same Order Integration
Syntax
element CP8 (1) (2...9) (10) [11] [12] [13]
# (1) int, unique element tag
# (2...9) int, node 1 to node 8
# (10) int, material tag
# [11] double, element thickness, default: 1.0
# [12] bool string, reduced integration switch, default: false
# [13] bool string, nonlinear geometry switch, default: false
Remarks
The
CP8
element resembles CPS8, CPE8, CPS8R and CPE8R elements in ABAQUS.The full integration scheme uses 3-by-3 Gauss scheme and the reduced integration uses a 2-by-2 scheme.
