buckling load
Follow up to my thread: I was able to complete the run on my pipe shell model but it did not converge within 10%. My shell idealization blf = 12.3. As a check, I tried modeling it as a beam idealization, and it went through without any problem. My beam idealization blf = 6.3. The shell/beam...- Rainier

buckling load
lawson, In my case I have a pipe shell column. I modeled it hinged/hinged as you suggested and applied the load at the top. The static analysis went ok but when I tried to run the buckling analysis I got a fatal error. Any thoughts why? Thanks! Rainier- Rainier
