Finite Elements and Verification Examples

[dimtsap]

After searching for shape functions for hexahedrals to add in MSolve i run into CalculiX . This code contains a lot of elements types and analysis types with extensive documentation. Also note that a series of verification examples are available againts which we could test our code.

I am posting also a "periodic table of finite elements" that might be useful for adding new elements. femtable.pdf

I post here also FEAP manual that contains many verification examples for Contact(@VasilisMerevis), FE2 (@Gerasimos01 ) and Isogeometric Analysis that we could utilize.
