beamExpandEM {FEA}

beamExpandEM

Description

Expanded element matrix for beam.

Usage

beamExpandEM(beamP, beamT, ElementMat)

Arguments

beamP

Matrix (2 x n) of beam coordinates.

beamT

Matrix (2 x n) containing the number of the coordinate point as shown in beamP that connect to form a given beam (Discretization table).

ElementMat

Element stiffness matrix list.

Value

produces large (n x n) element matrix from initial element matrix.

beamExMat

The expanded element matrix

Examples

data(beamGeo)
data(beamEmat)

ElementMat = beamEmat
beamExMat =  beamExpandEM(beamGeo$beamP, beamGeo$beamT, ElementMat)
