Contents

  • Shell Mesh Overview

  • Shell Modeling

  • Modeling Shell Problems

  • Shell Definition PropertyManager

    The Shell Definition PropertyManager is used to define the thickness of thin and thick shell elements. You can also define a shell as a composite for static, frequency, and buckling studies.

  • Offsets for Shells

    You can control the position of the shell mesh to the top, middle, or bottom faces of the shell. To position the mesh to a reference surface, you can type an offset value. By default, the mesh is always aligned to the middle face of the shell.

  • Shell Color

    You can display shells by color to identify the thickness or material of the shell. Every shell with a unique thickness or material appears in a unique color.
