Element

A single sub-domain of a finite element mesh. Elements typically used in moulding simulation are:

  • Two-node linear elements, used to represent runners, cooling channels and connectors.

  • Three-node triangular elements, used to represent surfaces.

  • Four-node tetrahedral elements, used to represent solids.

The properties of the element are assumed to be homogeneous.
