NAME
hexahedron - Hexaedron reference element DESCRIPTION
The hexahedron reference element is [-1,1]^3. ^ z | 4----------7 | | | | | | | 5------+---6 | | | | 0---+------3 - | ---> y | | | | | | 1----------2 x Curved high order Pk hexaedra (k >= 1) in 3d geometries are supported. These hexaedra have additional edge-nodes, face-nodes and internal volume-nodes. THESE NODES ARE NUMBERED AS
first vertex, then edge-node, following the edge numbering order and orientation, then face-nodes following the face numbering order and orientation, and finally the face internal nodes, following the hexaedron lattice. See below for edges and faces numbering and orioenta- tion. 4----19----7 | | |16 23 | 18 12 21 15 | 5----17+---6 |22 | 26 | 25| 0---+-11---3 | 13 24 14 8 | 20 10| | | 1-----9----2 P2 NUMBERING
The orientation is such that triedra (01, 03, 04) is direct and all faces, see from exterior, are in the direct sens. References: P. L. Georges, "Generation automatique de maillages", page 24-, coll RMA, 16, Masson, 1994. Notice that the edge-nodes and face-nodes numbering slighly differ from those used in the gmsh mesh generator when using high-order elements. This difference is handled by the msh2geo mesh file converter (see msh2geo(1)). IMPLEMENTATION
