Finite Element Methods: A Conceptual
Introduction
Basic
Ideas
A basic idea of finite element methods is to divide the structural body
into small and geometrically simple bodies, called elements, so that
equilibrium equations of each element can be written, and all the
equilibrium equations are solved simultaneously
The elements are assumed to be connected by nodes located on the
elements' edges and vertices.

Elements with quadratic shape functions are called quadratic elements,
second-order elements, or higher-order elements.
ANSYS Workbench supports only first-order and second-order elements.
