[wakeful]

Hi friends!
I need to model a shell element which its task is just load transferring. This shell shouldn’t take part I the analysis process, so it shouldn’t has mass, stiffness and thickness, with this characteristics how can I make this element with these properties?

Hi,

You need to use surface elements (SFM3D3 or SFM3D4) with *SURFACE SECTION.
