bar1#
Purpose
Element function for a 6 DOF traction-compression bar element.
Description
The bar1 element corresponds to the standard linear interpolation for axial traction-compression. The element DOFs are the standard translations at the two end nodes (DOFs .01 to .03).
In a model description matrix, element property rows for bar1 elements follow the standard format (see section 7.16).
