Abstract
This chapter presents a discussion on some modelling techniques for the stress analyses of solids and structures. Mesh symmetry, rigid elements and constraint equations, mesh compatibility, modelling of offsets, supports and connections between elements with different mathematical bases are all covered. Advanced modelling of laminated composite materials are also presented.
