I have been using codes provided from the book, Matlab codes for finite element analysis solids and structures, and I have come across a few functions (drawaingMesh, rectangularMesh and drawingField). I have Matlab2007 and I am not sure if these are inbuilt functions in Matlab or Mr Ferreira has produced it himself.

Normally any functions he uses are given at the end of the code but not this, it is not anywhere in the entire book.

Can anyone help with this or tell me where I can find similar functions that do the same job please.

Thanks in advance!

Searching www.mathworks.com for "drawaingMesh", "drawingMesh",
"rectangularMesh", or "drawingField" found no hits for any of them, so they
are not part of MATLAB or any toolbox from MathWorks. Therefore I would
assume that either Mr. Ferreira wrote these functions himself or obtained
them elsewhere.

The page for this MATLAB Based Book:

http://www.mathworks.com/support/books/book48974.html?category=7&language=1&view=category

includes an email address at Springer, the publisher of the book. I'd
contact them to let them know that it appears to you that they left some
functions out of the book.

Did you ever get this sorted/hold of the missing code? I am using the book myself and have come up against the same issue.

Thanks, Alex

I don't know if everyone will be able to download but extra material of the book (m-files) can be downloaded at the following URL.

in this link given below- rectangularmesh.p file provides the required function.

Hi everybody,

I have the same problem. My Matlab is 2016. The site Springer Nature doesn´t work. If somebody know the solution, please, contact me.

Tks
