Q. What is the status of SHELLs and Beams with regards to cast iron material models?

A. Development had determined at 8.1 that the cast iron model has very bad convergence patterns for shells and beams and is not a suitable material model for these elements. Unfortunately, the 9.0 documentation is not consistent since these elements were not completely removed from the TB,CAST and TB,UNIAXIL command documentation. This inconsistency will be corrected for 10.0 (Ref Documentation Defect 29867).
