New and available isoparametric finite elements having the option function on nodes are developed. It is shown that the option function on nodes leads to the more adaptable and applicable tool in generation of finite element meshes. According to the standard finite element procedure, new 2D- and 3D- isoparametric finite elements are formulated. Also, the availability and applicability of the present approach are, with aid of several numerical examples, discussed and examined.
