A novel finite element (FE) connected with orthogonal finite functions (OFF) was
developed for ANSYS software and was tested. The FE is proposed for modeling and
investigation of stress-strain states of homogeneous and heterogeneous elastic materials. The
efficiency of the developed FE is demonstrated using the examples of plane problems of
elasticity. The accuracy of this FE was found to be higher than that of the classical FE of
ANSYS. Moreover, the developed FE was proved to require less computational time, and this
difference in computational time increases with the increasing number of FE in the model.
