MembraneElement

class compas_fea2.model.MembraneElement[source]

Bases: _Element2D

A shell element that resists only axial loads.

Notes

Membrane elements are used to represent thin surfaces in space that offer strength in the plane of the element but have no bending stiffness; for example, the thin rubber sheet that forms a balloon. In addition, they are often used to represent thin stiffening components in solid structures, such as a reinforcing layer in a continuum.
