The properties for thin shells possessing membrane, bending, and transverse shear and coupling properties (Nastran PSHELL cards) are as follows:
- Material
specifies the material.
- Thickness
specifies the thickness of the geometry.
- Transversal Shear Material
By default, this is the same material selected for the Material option. You can however select a different material.
- Coupling Membrane/Bending Material
By default, this is the same material selected for the Material option. You can however select a different material.
- Bending Moment of Inertia Ratio
bending moment of inertia of the element.
- Bending Material
By default, this is the same material selected for the Material option. You can however select a different material.
- Transverse Shear Thickness Ratio
is the ratio of transverse shear thickness.
- Nonstructural Mass/Unit Length
is the nonstructural mass per unit length.
