Abstract

According to Figure 1, semi‐loof shell, plate and beam elements are implemented in such a way that three independent blocks are formed to obtain the stiffness, mass, load and stress matrices. These three blocks are controlled by subroutine MSTIF, which is directly called from a standard FE program.
