BEM2D

2D boundary element

Description

Boundary element using the “BEM” method in linear mechanical analysis.
A group of BEM boundary elements defines a region considered as an equivalent finite element.
Type: 60
Implemented by: X.C. Wang, 1987 - Last revision: A-M. Habraken, 1991

NEFEQ Number of equivalent finite elments

Definition of an equivalent finite element

This section must be repeated NEFEQ times.

Control data (8I5)
LMATEMaterial law - only the elastic material is accessible
NSUBENumber of boundary BEM elements
NSUBDTotal number of nodes taken into account in the boundary elements (in case of a closed contour, do not count the first and last node twice)
NSIGPNumber of interior points where stresses should be computed
IFTRAIndex for the calculation of nodal traction at each step:
= 1 Yes
≠ 1 No
INSOLIndex for the choice of fundamental solution (see explanation):
= 0 Kelvin (finite domain)
= 1 Kelvin (infinite domain)
= 2 Melan (semi-infinite)
NRI= 0 0 → No rotation
= -1 -1 → Rotation during deformation; the code computes the two most distant points
= I J → Rotation during deformation: I is the first node to define the angle of rotation; J is the second node to define the angle of rotation
NRJ
