Hello!

I am having problems with a thin-walled sandwich cylinder. First, the face sheets are made from 7075-T73. The outer face has a radius of 400mm and a wall thickness of 0.406mm. The core is made from ROHACELL (a strutural foam) and has a thickness of 7mm. The inner face is again 7075-T73 aluminium, with a thickness of 0.406mm.

The struture is subjected to high axial compressive loads and a large bending moment.

What element type should I use?

Thanks!
