Solid elements with rotational dofs
Solid elements with rotational dofs
(OP)
Does anybody know a paper or location in the web where I could find the formulation for a FEM solid element with 6 dof per node?
Thanks,

Some solid elements do have 6 dofs like Solid73 implemented by ANSYS. I am looking for the shape funtions of this element.

I am no specifically looking for that element (SOLID73), which I also heard that performed very badly, but any solid element that permits using shells, beams, and solids all together.

Cmfg, this paper might help:
"Hybrid stress tetrahedral elements with Allman's rotational D.O.F.s", K. Y. Sze, Y. S. Pan
You can find it in the International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering
