hi all
what is limitation and recomendations of shell (plate) elemnts dimesnions in Finite elemnt method ?
i have read in sap2000 manual that best results when aspect ratio is near one and good if not more than 4 and should not by anyway be more than 10
i realy think there is other limation because i can not imagine for EXAMPLE that i have a shell 10mX10m with thickness 5mms and the results are accepted !
so i mean what divisions shall i divide my shell to so that the results are accepted
