RectPatch2Layer
Purpose
integration points and weights for 1d-integration of rectangular patch
Synopsis
[yfib,wfib] = RectPatch2Layer (patcoor,IntTyp,nlayer)
Description
RECTPATCH2LAYER integration points and weights for 1d-integration of rectangular patch [YFIB,WFIB] = RECTPATCH2LAYER (PATCOOR,INTTYP,NLAYER) function determines locations in vector YFIB and integration weights in vector WFIB for 1d integration of a rectangular patch for the integration scheme in character array INTTYP and the number of integration points in NLAYER; the dimension of the rectangular patch is supplied by specifying the coordinates of opposite corners in array PATCOOR ([y1 z1 (+ve quadrant);y2 z2 (-ve quadrant)]) (NOTE: right handed local coordinate system x-y-z!) INTTYP can be either 'Midpoint', 'Gauss', Lobatto' or 'Trap'
