Common Properties: Bricks

Description

Properties commonly found in brick property sets.

Properties

Gauss Points (Hex16, Hex20)

Order of Gaussian integration used in the three natural coordinate directions of the higher order hexahedral elements.

Acceptable values are 1, 2 or 3.

Add Bubble Function (Hex8)

If set, incompatible displacement modes (also called bubble modes) are introduced into the element, improving its bending behaviour.

If not set, the standard hexahedral element formulation is used.

For plastic materials, the bubble function is always excluded.
