This window lets you set solution options for 2D shell Parts.
- Type of Solution
Select whether you want to compute a membrane solution or a solution with full bending moments.
- Shell material location
Shell segments have no geometrical thickness, so this option lets you select the location of the shell material relative to its geometric position.
- Left
Material is located to the left of the shell as you progress from the first node to the last node.
- Center
Material is located equally on either side of the shell (that is, from -h/2 to h/2, where h is the thickness).
- Right
Material is located to the right of the shell as you progress from the first node to the last node.
