Obligations.....duly noted. Thank you.
I am referring to the Solid Works manuals for SW 2009. SW 2010, which is what I am actually using, is a bit different. I was actually asking if you were familiar with SolidWorks 2010 and how it may differ in the way it handles shell elements.
The...
"Have you ever used shell elements before?"
My experience with shell elements is limited. But your inquiry begs the question - Why do you ask?
My book tells me that I can, in fact, create a surface from midplane OR either face, but my book is for SW 2009 and I'm using SW 2010. Who knows what's...
The upper surface of the ramp has raised ridges.
When I define the midplane of the ramp surface, do I lose the added strength of those features?
What if I shelled using just the upper surface, would that work?

Current study has been running 1hr 53 min and shows 61% completion of surface to surface bonding task.
Overall completion bar doesn't even show progress yet.
Currently I am still meshing it as a solid.
I tried using the curvature-based mesh and got a part interferance error. That prompted me to look closely at the construction of the model. I found dozens of geometry intrusions.
After spending a few hours consulting with the engineers (making sure...
My computer here at work is on a secure network that blocks many of the useful features on this site. So, please excuse me if I skipped ahead in a few FAQ protocols.
I am attempting to perform a stress analysis for a part of a ship(A loading ramp). I have to simulate an asymmetrical load and I...
