Generalized axisymmetric elements with twist cannot be used in contour integral calculations and in dynamic analysis. Elastic foundations are applied only to degrees of freedom u _ { r } and u _ { z } .
These elements should not be mixed with three-dimensional elements.
Axisymmetric elements with twist and the nodes of these elements should be used with caution within rigid bodies. If the rigid body undergoes large rotations, incorrect results may be obtained. It is recommended that rigid constraints on axisymmetric elements with twist be modeled with kinematic coupling (see “Kinematic coupling constraints,” Section 35.2.3).
Stabilization should not be used with these elements if the deformation is dominated by twist, since stabilization is applied only to the in-plane deformation.
Axisymmetric elements with nonlinear, asymmetric deformation
These elements are intended for the linear or nonlinear analysis of structures that are initially axisymmetric but undergo nonlinear, nonaxisymmetric deformation. They are available only in Abaqus/Standard.
The elements use standard isoparametric interpolation in the r–z plane, combined with Fourier interpolation with respect to . The deformation is assumed to be symmetric with respect to the r–z plane at \theta = 0 , \pi .
Up to four Fourier modes are allowed. For more general cases, full three-dimensional modeling or cylindrical element modeling is probably more economical because of the complete coupling between all deformation modes.
These elements use a set of nodes in each of several r–z planes: the number of such planes depends on the order N of Fourier interpolation used with respect to , as follows:
| Number of Fourier modes N | Number of nodal planes | Nodal plane locations with respect to θ |
| 1 | 2 | 0, π |
| 2 | 3 | 0, π/2, π |
| 3 | 4 | 0, π/3, 2π/3, π |
| 4 | 5 | 0, π/4, π/2, 3π/4, π |
Each element type is defined by a name such as CAXA8RN (continuum elements) or SAXA1N (shell elements). The number N should be given as the number of Fourier modes to be used with the element (N=1, 2, 3, or 4). For example, element type CAXA8R2 is a quadrilateral in the r–z plane with biquadratic interpolation in this plane and two Fourier modes for interpolation with respect to . The nodal planes associated with various Fourier modes are illustrated in Figure 27.1.2–4.

Overview
The Abaqus element library contains the following:
• stress/displacement elements, including contact elements, connector elements such as springs, and special-purpose elements such as Eulerian elements and surface elements;
• pore pressure elements;
• coupled temperature-displacement elements;
• coupled thermal-electrical-structural elements;
• coupled temperature–pore pressure displacement elements;
• heat transfer or mass diffusion elements;
• forced convection heat transfer elements;
• incompressible flow elements;
• fluid pipe and fluid pipe connector elements;
• coupled thermal-electrical elements;
• piezoelectric elements;
• electromagnetic elements;
• acoustic elements; and
• user-defined elements.
Each of these element types is described below.
Within Abaqus/Standard or Abaqus/Explicit, a model can contain elements that are not appropriate for the particular analysis type chosen; such elements will be ignored. However, an Abaqus/Standard model cannot contain elements that are not available in Abaqus/Standard; likewise, an Abaqus/Explicit model cannot contain elements that are not available in Abaqus/Explicit. The same rule applies to Abaqus/CFD.
Stress/displacement elements
Stress/displacement elements are used in the modeling of linear or complex nonlinear mechanical analyses that possibly involve contact, plasticity, and/or large deformations. Stress/displacement
elements can also be used for thermal-stress analysis, where the temperature history can be obtained from a heat transfer analysis carried out with diffusive elements.
Analysis types
Stress/displacement elements can be used in the following analysis types:
• static and quasi-static analysis (“Static stress analysis procedures: overview,” Section 6.2.1);
• implicit transient dynamic, explicit transient dynamic, modal dynamic, and steady-state dynamic analysis (“Dynamic analysis procedures: overview,” Section 6.3.1);
• “Acoustic, shock, and coupled acoustic-structural analysis,” Section 6.10.1; and
• “Fracture mechanics: overview,” Section 11.4.1.
Active degrees of freedom
Stress/displacement elements have only displacement degrees of freedom. See “Conventions,” Section 1.2.2, for a discussion of the degrees of freedom in Abaqus.

Analysis types
Pore pressure elements can be used in the following analysis types:

• geostatic analysis (“Geostatic stress state,” Section 6.8.2).
Active degrees of freedom

Interpolation
These elements use either linear- or second-order (quadratic) interpolation for the geometry and displacements in two or three directions. The pore pressure is interpolated linearly from the corner
nodes. Curved element edges should be avoided; exact linear spatial pore pressure variations cannot be obtained with curved edges.
For output purposes the pore pressure at the midside nodes of second-order elements is determined by linear interpolation from the corner nodes.

Pore pressure elements are available only in the following element family:
• “Solid (continuum) elements,” Section 28.1.1.

Interpolation
Coupled temperature-displacement elements use either linear or parabolic interpolation for the geometry and displacements. The temperature is always interpolated linearly.

Coupled thermal-electrical-structural elements
Coupled thermal-electrical-structural elements are used when a solution for the displacement, electrical potential, and temperature degrees of freedom must be obtained simultaneously. In these types of problems, coupling between the temperature and displacement degrees of freedom arises from temperature-dependent material properties, thermal expansion, and internal heat generation, which is a function of inelastic deformation of the material. The coupling between the temperature and electrical degrees of freedom arises from temperature-dependent electrical conductivity and internal heat generation (Joule heating), which is a function of the electrical current density. The names of the coupled thermal-electrical-structural elements begin with the letter Q.

In second-order elements the electrical potential and temperature degrees of freedom are active at the corner nodes. In modified tetrahedron elements the electrical potential and temperature degrees of freedom are active at every node. See “Conventions,” Section 1.2.2, for a discussion of the degrees of freedom in Abaqus.
Interpolation
