FEM1D_FUNCTION_10_DISPLAY
Display Piecewise Linear 1D Finite Element Function


FEM1D_FUNCTION_10_DISPLAY is a MATLAB program which reads a prefix defining three finite element data files, reads the data, samples the finite element function, and displays a plot.

Usage:

fem1d_function_10_display prefix

Examples and Tests:

ARCTAN is an example of a 1D finite element model, using 29 nodes, and piecewise linear elements, in which a scalar value is stored. The exact solution of the problem is the arctangent function. This data was computed by the FEM1D_ADAPTIVE program.
