A physical law is needed to turn the kinematic description provided by shape functions into a solvable mathematical statement. The law ensures that the mathematical statement is valid both locally within each element and globally over the entire domain.
Conditions: Requires a governing physical principle for the problem class.; The mathematical statement must be valid locally within elements and globally over the domain.
