Detailed Description

#include <jive/geom/Quad.h>

Provides classes for constructing shape objects that encapsulate the geometrical properties of two-dimensional quadrilateral elements. Three types of quadrilateral elements are supported: quadrilaterals with four nodes and bi-linear, isoparametric shape functions; quadrilaterals with eight nodes and quadratic, isoparametric shape functions; and quadrilaterals with nine nodes and bi-quadratic, isoparametric shape functions.
