struct.shell.plastic.iplocation

Syntax

v := struct.shell.plastic.iplocation(p,ipnum)

Get location of integration point of a shell-type element with a plastic material model. The area coordinates $(\xi, \eta)$ and abscissa $(z^\star)$ are returned. The integration point location is obtained using the formula given here (see also the struct.shell.plastic.idata function).

Returns:

v - parametric coordinates within the element ordered as $(\xi, \eta, z^\star)$

Arguments:

p - pointer to a shell-type element

ipnum - integration point number as shown here
