Fields

  • layers: Vector of Layer, default = []

  • location_type: Location, default = NONE

  • location: Location, default = NONE

  • transverse_shear_stiffness_11: String, default = ""

  • transverse_shear_stiffness_22: String, default = ""

  • transverse_shear_stiffness_12: String, default = ""

  • added_mass: String, default = ""

  • membrane_hourglass_control_factor: String, default = ""

  • drill_stiffness_factor: String, default = ""

  • bending_stiffness_factor: String, default = ""

  • element_stiffness: ShellStiffness, default = BendingAndMembrane

  • normal_eval_point: Vector of Float, default = []

    coordinates of a point used to orient the shell outward normal (dot product of vector from element center to point and shell normal defines positive direction)

  • curved_formulation_for_linear_elements: Bool, default = false

    Use advanced shell formulation for element order 1 elements, see keyopt(5) = 1 in shell181 documentation for mapdl
