TetrahedronElement

class compas_fea2.model.TetrahedronElement

Bases: _Element3D

A Solid element with 4 or 10 nodes.

Attributes:

nodesList[“Node”]

The list of nodes defining the element.

Notes

This element can be either: - C3D4: A 4-node tetrahedral element. - C3D10: A 10-node tetrahedral element (with midside nodes).

Face labels (for the first 4 corner nodes) are: - S1: (0, 1, 2) - S2: (0, 1, 3) - S3: (1, 2, 3) - S4: (0, 2, 3)

The C3D10 element includes 6 additional midside nodes: - Edge (0,1) → Node 4 - Edge (1,2) → Node 5 - Edge (2,0) → Node 6 - Edge (0,3) → Node 7 - Edge (1,3) → Node 8 - Edge (2,3) → Node 9
