Abstract
For some heterogeneous materials, it is not practical to model the mic rostructure directly using traditional finite elements. Furthermore, i t is not always accurate to use homogenized properties. Macro elements have been developed which permit microstructure within a single eleme nt. These macro elements performed well in initial tests.
