Temperature analysis with layered elements

Temperature analysis with layered elements

Temperature analysis with layered elements

(OP)
I have a very simple question: Can I do a temperature analysis with a SHELL99 element (layered composite element)? I have an 8-layers, rectangle shape, composite part and I'd like to apply a constant temp. on a line into the part, and then apply a convection boundary condition on the surface, in order to view the temp. distribution in 3D into the part. I don't know if I can do it with the SHELL99 element and I didn't find any help on the web... If someone could help me that would be kind!

RE: Temperature analysis with layered elements

This element doesn't have the correct DOF for your thermal analysis (it only has displacment DOF - check the help file notes). If you need a layered shell for thermal analysis consider either shell131 or shell132 depending on your needs.
