What is the number of integration points used by SHELL elements in SIMULATION and can that number be changed by the user?
|
SIMULATION Release 10.0 uses SHELL181 with attributes defined by REAL constants. When SHELL181 elements are defined using REAL constants, the number of integration points is set to 5 without any option. So, SIMULATION uses SHELL181 elements with 5 integration points. To change the number of integration points, the user would have to use a command object that first defined SECTION IDs for the SHELL elements, and then changed the number of integration points for those SECTION IDs. |
