Radius of curvature warning
Radius of curvature warning
(OP)
Hello,
I have a problem wiht shell93 element. I tried to mesh a straight tube made of area with this element but I have a radius of curvature warning because of the shell thickness. I understand the warning (see Anys help), I don't know how to mesh a tube using 2D element like shell. Have you some ideas?
Thank you for your help,
Best Regards,
Mickaël,

RE: Radius of curvature warning
I suppose the radius of the tube is small in relation to the thickness of the shell. In this case I would also try a volume mesh instead of shell. Then compare the results.
