Large3du2ul_Tri

Purpose

determine the local displacements of a triangular element

Synopsis

ul = Large3du2ul_Tri (xyz,u)

Description

LARGE3DU2UL_TRI determine the local displacements of a triangular element
  UL = LARGE3DU2UL_TRI(XYZ,U)
  the function determines the displacements UL in the local reference system
  under the large node displacements U in the global reference system
  of a triangular element with end node coordinates XYZ

Cross-Reference Information

This function calls:

  • DefGeom_Tri determines local coordinates and corotational triad of triangular element
  • Rot2q convert normalized rotation vector to quaternion representation
  • q2Rmat determine rotation matrix from normalized quaternions
This function is called by:
  • GeomTran_TriPlate kinematic matrices and local displacements for a triangular plate element
  • kg_TriPlate geometric stiffness matrix for triangular plate element for different options
