| Matrix or Vector | Shape Functions | Integration Points |
|---|---|---|
| Stiffness and Damping Matrices | None | None |
| Stress Stiffening Matrix | None | None |
The following sections describe the different matrices used by the COMBI214 element:
If KEYOPT(2) = 0, the element lies in the (XY) plane and the stiffness, damping and stress-stiffness matrices in nodal coordinates are:
 | (13–357) |
 | (13–358) |
 | (13–359) |
where:
| K11, K12, K21, K22 = stiffness coefficients (input as K11, etc. on R command) |
| C11, C12, C21, C22 = damping coefficients (input as C11, etc. on R command) |
|
| L1 = distance between the two nodes I and J |
| L2 = distance between the two nodes K and J |
The matrices for KEYOPT(2) equals 1 or 2 are developed analogously.
Stiffness and/or damping matrices may depend upon the rotational velocity (input through OMEGA or CMOMEGA) if real constants are defined as table parameters.

The following sections describe the output quantities from the COMBI214 element:
The stretch is computed as:
 | (13–360) |
 | (13–361) |
where:
| u', v', w' = displacements in nodal Cartesian coordinates (UX, UY, UZ) |
The static forces are computed as:
 | (13–362) |
 | (13–363) |
Finally, if a nonlinear transient dynamic (ANTYPE,TRANS, with TIMINT,ON) analysis is performed, a damping force is computed:
The damping forces are computed as:
 | (13–364) |
 | (13–365) |
where:
| v1, v2 = relative velocities |
Relative velocities are computed using Equation 13–360 and Equation 13–361, where the nodal displacements u', v', and w' are replaced with the nodal Newmark velocities.
The pressure forces are calculated by integration of the pressure on the bearing surface. For more information, see Finite Length Formulation for 2-D Elements.
