- You are indeed confused. Any approximation p[rocedure must have trial functions.
- In traditional FEA they are called shape functions, choose the name you like but
- all FEA procedures musat have some approximating function over the domain space.
- Now we csan talk about how to derive these functions and how to apply them!
