    Transient buckling analysis under temperature loading

    Hi, I'm working on a thin shell model with temperature loading (Input from another odb via *TEMPERATURE, FILE). Due to high thermal gradients and buckling of thin walls, the analysis has lots of convergence problems. I tried to solve the calculation with *STATIC, STABILIZE and *CONTACT...

    Hi, I'm trying to calculate the total force for a shell element. I used *EL PRINT to get the section forces. Unfortunately, the local axes of my QUAD element (the global axes are projected onto the element surface) don't math the element edges. What's the element unit length for the calculation...
