| Matrix or Vector | Shape Functions | Integration Points |
|---|---|---|
| Stiffness, Conductivity, Stress Stiffness (used only when added to the Stiffness Matrix), Convection Surface Matrices; and Gravity, Thermal and Pressure/Heat Generation and Convection Surface Load Vectors | Same as the constituent elements | Same as the constituent elements |
| Mass/Specific Heat and Damping Matrices | Same as the constituent elements reduced down to the master degrees of freedom | Same as the constituent elements |
| Load Type | Distribution |
