User Triangular Shell Elements Using
Solid Property Example
A triangular shell property is defined using a user solid property with rotational
degrees of freedom at nodes.
Bricks are degenerated to three node shells. Property reads stresses computed in a
user’s material. Internal forces, internal moments, and strain increments are
written. Figure 1. 3-node-shell Mesh Made Up of Two Degenerated Brick Elements Figure 2. Element Degeneration
