1. Discretization#
1.1. Degrees of freedom#
For these two models, the degrees of freedom of discretization are, at each node of the support mesh, the three translational displacement components.

1.2. Stiffness matrix support mesh#
Finite element support meshes, in displacement formulation, are segments with two nodes SEG2:
