About this document
Shape Functions for Triangular Elements by Chiheb BEN ABDALLAH is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses shape functions for triangular prism finite elements. It states that the shape functions for triangular prisms are obtained as the product of the shape functions of the triangular faces and the shape function for the line element corresponding to the z-dimension. This allows shape functions to be determined for linear and quadratic triangular prism elements. The main advantage of triangular prisms is that they can better fit irregular boundaries than hexahedral elements alone.
