Purpose

kinematic matrices and local displacements for a quadrilateral plate element

Synopsis

[ag,ab,xl0,ul,Dul,DDul] = GeomTran_QuadPlate (option,xyz,u,Du,DDu)

Description

GEOMTRAN_QUADPLATE kinematic matrices and local displacements for a quadrilateral plate element
  [AG,AB,XL0,UL,DUL,DDUL] = GEOMTRAN_QUADPLATE (OPTION,XYZ,U,DU,DDU)
  the function determines the kinematic matrix AG from the global to the basic reference system,
  and the kinematic matrix AB from the global to the local reference system
  as well as the local coordinates XL0, and local displacements UL and increments DUL and DDUL
  from the node displacement array U and its increments DU and DDU
  for a quadrilateral plate element with end node coordinates XYZ;
  OPTION is a character variable with one of two values:
  'linear' and 'corotational', for linear and corotational geometry, resp.
