Solid shell elements in Code Aster

Hi,
Great work by developers indeed.
I just wanted to know when will the new non-linear solid shell elements be introduced in the latest release of Code Aster which I have waiting for some time.

Thanks and Regards

Hi !
I'm interested in this too... Do you happen to know why SHB elements were deprecated in V15? And when will be available the new element family ?
Thanks !

Regards,
Agustin

Re: Solid shell elements in Code Aster

Hello,

The old version of SHB required special behaviors with the assumption of the plane constraints

This is not the case for the new version of the solid shell elements available in version 15.3
These elements are also usable in large deformations (DEFORMATION = 'GDEF_LOG')

To use them from HEXA8 only:
1 / Modify the mailalge by CREA_MAILLAGE / COQUE_SOLIDE
2 / AFFE_MODELE / MODELING / COQUE_SOLIDE

A version with PENTA6 will soon be available
