PARAM, COMPSHST

Bulk Data Entry Controls the transverse shear stress calculation for composite shells, (PCOMP, PCOMPP, PCOMPG) and continuum shells (PCOMPLS).

Parameter	Values	Description
`COMPSHST`	<0, 1, 2>	= 0 (Default) Transverse shear force V_xz and V_yz have no influence on transverse shear stress $τ$ _yz and $τ$ _xz, respectively. Membrane strain $ε$ _xx and $ε$ _yy have no influence on transverse shear stress $τ$ _yz and $τ$ _xz, respectively. = 1 Transverse shear force V_xz and V_yz have no influence on transverse shear stress $τ$ _yz and $τ$ _xz, respectively. Membrane strain $ε$ _xx and $ε$ _yy have influence on transverse shear stress $τ$ _yz and $τ$ _xz, respectively. = 2 Transverse shear force V_xz and V_yz have influence on transverse shear stress $τ$ _yz and $τ$ _xz, respectively. Membrane strain $ε$ _xx and $ε$ _yy have influence on transverse shear stress $τ$ _yz and $τ$ _xz, respectively.

Comments

The results from continuum shells (PCOMPLS) are accurate only when there is only one element in the composite stack direction.
