Quadratic-Linear Hexahedron Element type
Good afternoon,
Is it possible to output a quadratic-linear hexahedron to Paraview? I can do it for both an 8-node linear hexahedron and a 20-node quadratic hexahedron but I need to view a quadratic cohesive element that has 16 nodes and is quadratic in the surfaces and linear in the normal direction. Something like:
15----14----13
/| /|
16 | 12 |
/ | / |
9----10----11 |
| | | | 3D COHESIVE QUADRATIC
| 7-----6-|---5 16-NODED ELEMENT
| / | /
| 8 | 4
|/ |/
1-----2-----3
From what I could find, this type of element does not exist in the (VTK source code).
