hi to everyone, I enrolled a short time ago, every now and then I take a look at the old discussions and I never wrote, but today I would really need your help (I found here a similar discussion related to patran that unfortunately I was not of help). I'm calculating a shell of cls (ansys11) and I can't place the stiffness in the edges, I don't know exactly where to go. I have the surface of the shell shaped with shell181 elements, to which I assigned the thickness.
thanks in advance

So what would you do? I don't understand.

use beams or overlapping shells or use wb...

hello to everyone and thank you for the answers!
I found on the web a file that explains how to combine shell and beam elements, it is a thin rectangular plate with rectangular section stiffenings on the longer sides. the example builds on ansys geometry. Actually my case is a little different because the shell is an anticlastic and already made with rhino. cmq was not difficult to adapt the process to the shell. Hi... .

@cinzias:
the purpose of the forums is sharing. if you ask and then find the solution would be the right thing to share it, so it can be useful in the future!
Thank you.

hi gerod, maybe I didn't "fit" the way, but my answer was precisely aimed at this, I just expected that whoever was interested to ask a targeted question since the procedure is a little long. Anyway you're right, I could be more specific and I apologize. I thank you for the obsessiveness and I take the opportunity to ask you if you can report the link from which I downloaded the file or it is good that you bring in my words the procedure.
Hi.

 

[gerod]

hi, if the link is official no problem.
I mean by officer it's public.
for me you can do it quietly.
public.
Hi.

hi, I don't think there are any problems, the file can be viewed and saved freely and in the end the name of the author (University of Louisiana). Anyway (in my ignorance) let me know!
