Chapter 7: Element Library

Following are descriptions of each element, which appear in numerical order.

Descriptions common to several elements appear in separate sections of General Element Features and are referenced where applicable.

Read About This Reference and General Element Features before examining the element descriptions in Part I: Element Library.

More detailed information about each element is available in the Mechanical APDL Theory Reference, which describes how the element input items (such as the real constants, material properties, KEYOPT switches, etc.) are used to produce the element output.
