I do not know when I will start working on this, but if I will ever and if I finish the program I will pass the C source to you. I intend to write an ANSI C program which will for every accept scalar-quadrangle-value in the input ASCII file generate a corresponding scalar-triangle-value-s in the ASCII output file. White nodes are nodes in which we calculate 4-node quadrangular finite element interpolated pressure values. If the difference (for all red nodes) is small enough (say, that it was in figure 3) there is no need for further subdivisions and we are going back to a previous subdivision and form 3-node triangles as shown in figure 4.įigure 4: Final triangulation of 4-node quadrangular finite element. Red nodes are nodes in which we calculate the difference between linear and 4-node quadrangular finite element interpolated pressure values. If the difference (for all red nodes in figure 2) is not small enough (the difference will be compared to the pressure change on the element) the subdivision should continue as shown in figure 3, where again we calculate the difference between linear and 4-node quadrangular finite element interpolated pressure values in red nodes.įigure 3: 4-node quadrangular finite element with sixteen new 4-node quadrangles.


Then, I will calculate the difference between linear and 4-node quadrangular finite element interpolated pressure values in red nodes (see figure 2).įigure 2: 4-node quadrangular finite element with four new 4-node quadrangles. So, when you draw, let's say one quadrangle, you first split it into 2 triangles and use your quadrilateral interpolation at points, Then, if your solution is higher order, you split recursively the triangles into 4 triangles, the recursion stops when your solution is sufficiently linear on the actual triangle.Īctually, I will first divide my 4-node (black nodes) quadrangular finite element into four 4-node quadrangles (figure 1) with five new nodes (white nodes) in which I will calculate the pressure using 4-node quadrangular finite element interpolation.įigure 1: 4-node quadrangular finite element with four new 4-node quadrangles.
