Abaqus input file
Abaqus input file
(OP)
Hi,
I have a really silly question...
I have an input file from a senior, however, there is a sentence I don't really understand....hope someone can kindly help me
*Shell Section, elset=Set-Membrane, material=Material-Cortex, offset=SPOS, poisson=0.5
0.2, 5
I don't understand the offset and '0.2, 5' part...does it mean the shell is 0.5 (SPOS) away from the master surface???
Thanks in advance

RE: Abaqus input file
so the 0.2 will be the thickness of the shell element
and the 5 is the number of integration points through this thickness.
elset=Set-Membrane is the set of shell elements that are assigned the aforementioned shell section
offset=SPOS is the offset methode used to extrude the section thickness with respect to the line geometry you defines in your model
