How can I replace an element type in Ansys Workbench
How can I replace an element type in Ansys Workbench
(OP)
Hello,
I examine a manometric membrane by using the Static Structural Analysis of Ansys Workbench. The analysis is done via the Quadratic Tetrahedron element by default. The major point is whether this element could be replaced with Shell41 and how it could be done with Workbench. I have attached a picture of the membrane.

I don't know how to define mid plane of this detail. I constructed the manometric membrane as Surface Bodies, the CAD element was created through the command Revolve of Autodesk Inventor 2010. How can I define the thickness of the membrane in the Static Structural Analysis of Ansys Workbench? Whiсh command must be used?
Thank you in advance.

I put the mid plane by using the ANSYS DesignModeler in a CAD model of the manometric membraneна. I put Mesh on a CAD model иand the elemant type changed to 4 Node Linear Triangular Shell. Can I change it, I mean to be Shell 281 or Shell 41 and how can I do it? I want to make an analysis of the characteristics of pressure - deformation in the Static Structural Analysis of Ansys Workbench of the manometric membrane and I don't know how much precise the analysis with the element 4 Node Linear Triangular Shell is. Is there any solution for deflection in the Static Structural Analysis of Ansys Workbench?
Thank you for the help

Thank you for the help so far!
I did a non-linear structural analysis through Ansys Workbench, but I got unstable results for the deformation and an additional substep is added to the results. The command STABILIZE is used in Ansys Classic, but I don't know how to include it in Ansys Workbench in order to remove the substep and get stable results.
Thank you.
