Are there any works on Exact integrations for Linear Hexahedral elements in FEM?

12 December 2018 0 9K Report

I want to know if there are some works on Linear Hexahedral elements shape functions in Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) and exact integration, all what I have found is expressed in natural coordinates and numerical integration.

Thanks in advance.

How to find the right number of integration points in second order 3d finite elements?

I am familiar with finite element simulations and numerical schemes like the Gauss Legendre quadrature. I also know that the Gauss integration yields exact values for polynomials up to degree 2n-1...

What could be the reason for not having further low chi square value (better agreement) in my refinement result?

I have tried every combination of parameter changes and after that i have a poor chi square value. I can't get it lower any further. I know there have been a lot of discussion about Rietveld...
