Cantilever Beam FEM Solver Using Q8 Mesh Elements

Cantilever Beam FEM Solver Using Q8 Mesh Elements

This code solves cantilever beam problem using 8 node mesh elements. Serendipity shape functions were used. Mesh counts greatly affect the solver time. "parfor" is used to speed up the process but if you are having problems you can change it to standart for loop instead. Also there is drawSystem.m file included. With this you can visualize the cantilever beam with mesh on it, displacements on the mesh nodes and see the stresses in color.
