Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) solid element is the most general finite element because all the displacement variables are dependent in x 1, x 2 and x 3 coordinates. The formulation of 3D solids elements is straightforward, because it is basically an extension of 2D solids elements. All the techniques described in 2D solids can be utilized, except that all the variables are now functions of special coordinate.
