Natural coordinate system is basically a local coordinate system which allows the specification of a point within the element by a set of dimensionless numbers whose magnitude never exceeds unity. This coordinate system is found to be very effective in formulating the element properties in finite element formulation. This system is defined in such that the magnitude at nodal points will have unity or zero or a convenient set of fractions. It also facilitates the integration to calculate element stiffness.
