It is necessary to use some spe- cial methods. The penalty function conforming finite element method is an effective method to overcome this locking phenomenon since it is simple for the realization of the resulting program and easy to determine the penalty number and it also does not change the functional stationary value properties. In this paper, the computing format of penalty function finite element method is carefully derived, the conditions for success of the resulting method is analyzed and the effective- ness and robustness of this method are finally verified by some numerical experiments for nearly incompressible elasticity problems. The quality of the mesh used in three-dimensional finite ele- ment analysis has a great effect on the accuracy and computational efficiency. If the isotropic grids can be used in the practical calculations, the method wi
