 === Description ===
-''Volume2DElement'' and ''Volume3DElement'' are basic elements in Metafor. ''Volume2DElement'' is a quadrangle with 4 nodes in 2D, when ''Volume3DElement''is a hexaedron with 8 nodes in 3D. Each element has respectively 8 and 24 degrees of freedom.

 By default, if $n$ is the degree of mechanical interpolation and $d$ the element dimension, the number of integration points in the deviatoric part of the stress field is $(n+1)^{d}$, unless stated otherwise with the definition of ''NIPDKSI'', ''NIPDETA'' or ''NIPDZETA'' (see [[#Parameters ]]). \\ For example, the interpolation of ''Volume2DElement'' is of the first degree ($n=1$), and it is a 2D element ($d=2$), leading to 4 integration points.
