I am a beginner and the replies above have made me ask this question. We generally dont use shell models for complicated geometry and if the geometry is simple it does not take more time to make a solid model. Besides this in using solid models we make less assumptions. So why not use a solid...

hiyer the names of the authors are Young W. Kwon, Hyochoong Bang "Finite Element Analysis using Matlab".

Rastogisk try posting this question on FEA section too, the Pro/Mechanica section is not very poplar with the "GURUS".goodluck. ym

actaris, i have run into the same problem too. the only thing i know is do the "view max" first and then create a capping plane. let me know if u have found a better solution. ym

hi dhamps, my 2 cents.... You can create a volume in Pro/mech under Structure --> Feature --> VolumeRegion-->Create and once u've created the vol. try constraining it in all 6 degrees of freedom. I havent tried it myself yet but see if that works. Also if there is say a "cylinder&quot...

Hi all, will this problem of shear locking still occur if i am using p type elements like in pro/mechanica? cheers:)

hi train guy when u say 10-15% of allowable stress u mean allowable shear stress?

I am a new user of Pro/Mechanica, it has proven to be satisfactory to me coz i deal with linear analysis. the one disadvantage i have seen is that it has two modes independent and integrated in independent u have a little more control over nodes, which is very essential . but all this is not...

Hi all i would like to add my 2 cents to the question why not MATLAB. i havent used matlab but i have written code in NASTRAN for some simple analysis. the first hurdle is to let the program know the shape of the model in terms of the co-ordinates of the nodes. i had to physically enter the node...

Hi sankar. from wut i understand this is wut i would do. I would select the region where the members ( the ones u are not interested in modelling) join the vertical member. and since the load is acting at a distance from these regions, apply the load as if acting on a surface and at a point...
