===============================

**Description**


A linear elastic beam loaded with a continuous force. The FE meshes consisting
of hexehedral, tetrahedral, and wedge elements are used in the simulation and
the results are compared.

The displacement at the beam end is compared to the reference
solution calculated on the homogeneous hexahedral mesh.

Running the simulation::

    sfepy-run sfepy/examples/linear_elasticity/wedge_mesh.py

Viewing the results::

    sfepy-view output/beam_h7.vtk output/beam_t42.vtk output/beam_w14.vtk -f u:s0:wu:e:p0 u:s1:wu:e:p0 u:s2:wu:e:p0 --camera-position="1.2,-0.6,0.1,0.4,0.1,-0.1,-0.2,0.1,1"
