About integration points of SHELL131
(OP)
Hi!!
i use SHELL131 element witch have more than one integration points. I want that Ansys do his evaluation at juste one integration point, at the centroidal point of the element. in other words, i want that my element have juste one integration point. How can i do that please.
Thank's in advance.

For example, Ansys evaluates the temperature (loads) at each point of integration of the structural element (SHELL 181) then assign to him the corresponding value of EX which he finds in the table: MPTEMP and MPDATA, EX, 1, 1..... and after that he evaluate stresses…
In my program, i have two types of materials ( MPTEMP, MPDATA,EX,1,1, & MPTEMP, MPDATA,EX,2,1,). So i would like to be able to know the temperature of each integration point, at each step, then according to the value of this temperature I assign at this point of integration material 1 or 2 .
I do not know how can i do that!!!
