Which outcome occurs when the shape functions poorly approximate true solutions for structural finite element simulations?

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate shape functions will poorly represent real-world structural behavior, hence the computed stress concentrations become inaccurate because strains are derived from shape function spatial derivatives; therefore the incorrect strains lead to inaccurate stresses, rather than correct stress or enhanced convergence.
