Shell property is a physical property assigned to surface elements.
A shell property references a material assigned to the surface part and describes a thickness associated to this surface part. A shell property is associative to the geometry this property points at.
The input and output characteristics are:
-
Input:
-
Material
-
Thickness
-
-
Output:
-
Stress
-
Strain
-
Point force vector
- Point moment vector
- Stress Von Mises
- Elastic energy
- Elastic energy density
- Estimated error
- Curvature
- Transverse shear strain
- Transverse shear stress
-
Those characteristics can be expressed at the given positions in the elements and in different axis systems:
