howany nodes in linear penta element ?
Answers
A linear penta element will have 6 nodes.
This is because elements are classified on the basis of position of nodes in three categories:
1) Linear
2) Quadratic
3) Tetrahedral
In the linear classification, the nodes are present at the edges only. But in quadratic the nodes will be present on edges as well on mid sides.
Besides that penta elements come under 3d meshing which is only used when all the dimensions are comparable.
So, that means in 3d meshing, the penta element will have 6 nodes on its edges.
Answer:
Explanation:
Penta elements are those elements which have at least 5 parts into it. Which have different bode and notation having a different configuration in which linear Penta elements consist of 6 nodes which looks like an excruciating triangle which has total 5 faces of its triangle and second order Penta element has 15 nodes which look like a triangle shaped aspect with 5 faces as well with other nodes?
