Shell91

[simulatio]

Hello
I want to model a cylinderical shell using shell91. And i'm not familiar with this element. Also, there is no complete help in Help of ansys. What can i do for modelling composite cylinder with this element?

I've just checked the manual and the help seems to be comprehensive for this and all ANSYS-supported elements.

Thanks for your answer. At first, i modeled a simple cylinderical shell. The goal was to find the linear buckling load. But, there is a problem. I don't know why the eigen-buckling solution dose not work. The text file of ansys is attached.
