Need help answering the question in the picture it refers to the use of Solid Works program FEA = finite element analysis What two types of shape functions are most commonly used in FEA? Why? Solution The two types of shape functions used in FEA are A) Linear shape function b)Quadriatic shape function Linear shape function is used when two nodes are used and only linear equation is sufficient to interpolate the function. Quadriatic equation is used when an additional midside node is used..
