  1. A shell group is a set of 4 node shells (only). It can be defined explicitly by a list of:
    • shell ID
    • entering a first and last shell ID range which defines the group
    • subsets or parts (all shells belonging to the listed subsets/parts are included)
    • submodels (all shells defined in the listed submodels are included)
    • property sets or materials (all shells having those Property Type's/MID's are included)
    • shell groups
    • a box (all shells within a defined box are included)
  2. Shell groups are used to define sections, TH output.
  3. Shell groups cannot contain 3 node shell elements (use /GRSH3N instead).
