Example 512: Force load on a corner of a 2D membrane

The corner of a single 2D finite elastic membrane element, with a rotating fibre distribution and pole-zero material behaviour, is force loaded outwardly.

The comfile run by this example is as follows:

#Finite deformation of a 3D elastic membrane

fem de coor 3,1
fem de node;r;membrane;example    #4 nodes
fem de base;r;;example            #bilinear basis
fem de elem;r;;example            #1 element
fem de fibr;r;;example           
fem de elem;r;;example fibre
fem de equa;r;;example            #finite deformation of incompressible membrane
fem de mate;r;;example            #Mooney-Rivlin material
fem de init;r;;example            #tether nodes 1..3 and stretch node 4 in x dir.n
fem de solv;r;;example
