Shell Element results in SAP 2000
Shell Element results in SAP 2000
(OP)
I have a question, may be for some people very easy.
The results of forces and moments for the shell element in SAP 2000 according to the SAP maual are in "unit of in -plane length"what means this? . I am working in metric units, I made a very simple example ( simple suported beam with a concentrate load in de center) and I am not verifing the theoretical results.
Apparently, for the stresses output ( S11,S22,S12) the results do not need to be multiplied for nothing.
Thanks for your help
