Lesson 6 Shells
6-1 OVERVIEW
Plate or shell elements can resist loads in all directions and become extremely versatile modeling tools for thin planar and curved surfaces. The exercises below demonstrate --. Modeling flat plates with ANSYS shell elements . • Solving problems involving thin walled structures . • Evaluating shell element solution accuracy.
6-2 INTRODUCTION
Shell elements behave as two-dimensional equivalents of beams. They connect three or four node points in a plane and experience bending deformations when loaded by forces transverse to their surfaces. Considering the sh
