| Matrix or Vector | Geometry | Shape Functions | Integration Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical Conductivity Matrix | Quad | (Equation 12–109) | 2 x 2 |
| Triangle | (Equation 12–90) | 3 | |
| Thermal Conductivity Matrix and Heat Generation Load Vector | Quad | (Equation 12–108) | 2 x 2 |
| Triangle | (Equation 12–89) | 3 | |
| Specific Heat Matrix | Same as for thermal conductivity matrix. Matrix is diagonalized as described in Lumped Matrices | Same as conductivity matrices | |
| Convection Surface Matrix and Load Vector | Same as thermal conductivity matrix evaluated at the face | 2 | |
