This paper describes how to obtain a two-dimensional element of three nodes from a prismatic solid element of six nodes, assuming that the normal voltage to the triangular faces is constant and different from zero.
A numerical example is also presented where the results obtained are compared with the developed element and with three-dimensional elements, showing the good behavior of the developed element.
